• The first ever National Lottery grant in the area was the £1m. for the West Craven dual use dry sports centre and learner pool at Barnoldswick in 1995.

• The majority of National Lottery grants are for less than £10,000 such as the £8,750 to Volunteer Pendle to promote volunteering opportunities for young people in 2017.

From today, any organisation that has received National Lottery funding, has the chance to gain nationwide acclaim by entering the 25th Birthday National Lottery Awards - the charity's search for the UK's favourite ever National Lottery-funded projects.

National Lottery Awards winners will receive a £10,000 cash prize and national recognition at a glittering ceremony broadcast on BBC One later in the year.
