Local Hero Awards

By Ben Bartlett. Thursday, 06 October 2005.

The £30m community investment programme Barclay's Spaces for Sports, inspired the creation of the Local Hero award.

This honour is for the unsung heroes who tirelessly support grass roots sport in communities across the UK.

Deserving recipients could be anyone from a long-standing groundsman to a coach who has worked tirelessly to develop players or someone who drives the minibus or has made the sandwiches for years! In recognition of their efforts Barclays will present to each winner a limited edition silver medal and a donation of £1000 to the team or charity of their choice.

If you would like to nominate someone you really feel deserves a Barclay's Spaces for Sports Local Hero Award, please complete the nomination form by clicking here and return to the address provided.

All entries will be judged by the official Barclay's Spaces for Sports panel, which comprises of representatives from partners Barclays, Football Foundation and Groundwork.
