The National Lottery is 25th years old and to celebrate it is offering community projects the chance to bid for grants from £100 to £1,000 until Friday December 6.

 

The National Lottery Fund has helped more than 1,1000 Salford projects with funding since 2004, totaling £40,798,816.29 invested overall and this year they are hoping for more.

A place where the money wouldn’t be going to waste is the American Football Club on Albert Park, Lower Broughton. Here the team of more than 20 members constantly struggles for funding, due to it being an ‘expensive sport’ said the President of the Club Olly Sweetman.

 

The club has been going for a few years now but has always found it hard to receive adequate funding its needed due to its position a niche sport. With the money they are hoping to tackle bags, padding, coach fees and much more allowing them to be a real competitive player in the league.
