The National Lottery Awards Show

The National Lottery Awards 2012, live from London's South Bank. Now,

please welcome your host for the Hello and welcome to our ninth year

of celebrating the amazing good causes funded by the National

Lottery. Tonight, we will also be bringing you the live Lotto

rollover draw and Thunderball and Plus 5 results. Performing a track

from her brand new album for this show we have the amazing Leona

Lewis. The National Lottery played a small part in something pretty

exciting that happened in London this summer. We will be celebrating

with some of our Olympic and Paralympic heroes. Since the

National Lottery was launched in the UK 18 years ago, over 29

billion has been given to good causes. Some amazing people have

done amazing things with that money. That is enough from me. If you

still need convincing what a difference National Lottery funding

makes, take a look at this. Without Lottery funding, this wouldn't have

been possible. Sometimes you lose the connection between doing the

Lottery and what it produces at the end of the line. It's giving

reality to people's dreams. I've had the best four years ever in my

life. It's good to know that our sacrifice has not been forgotten.

Plants keep us alive. We need to look after nature for our children

and our children's children. I love coming here. It keeps me fit. I've

made lots of friends. It's me realise you can turn yourself

around and create a positive impact on the community. I'm going to be

an astronaut. National Lottery funding changes lives. I am an

example of that. I'm ambition. I am going to have a good job. Isn't it

amazing! I love skateboarding because it gives me ambition to try

new things. It's dangerous to be forgotten. I used to have no hope,

no hope. Now, I have both. Next CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Amazing what incredible work. Over the past few months, you have been

voting for your favourite good cause to find the winners of the

National Lottery Awards in association with the Daily

Telegraph. Your votes have been counted and verified. Tonight is a

celebration of those worthy winners. So, let's get to our first award of

the night, which is for Charity and Voluntary. To present this we have

a talented voicalist and member of a pretty famous girl band, it's

Melanie C -- vocalist. APPLAUSE

The project in this category were extremely varied. The winner is a

stunning project. This is why. Imagine you are alone, penniless

and on the street. It could happen to any one of us. Then imagine

someone coming along and offering you a meal and a warm bed in their

home. The charity and voluntary award goes to New Forest Nightstop.

APPLAUSE Let's see how they have made a

difference. New Forest Nightstop is the only provider of emergency

accommodation for young people in the New Forest. We do think through

homes of trained and approved volunteer that is offer a spare

room to a young person in need. People are quite surprised that

homelessness exists in the New Forest because it's generally

perceived as a city issue. My mum got re-married and he didn't want

me and I ended up on the streets. I was hungry and alone and depressed

and tired. People would just be like "are you an asylum seeker? I'm

goings, no, I'm Katie. I'm just a young girl who is so lost and your'

not listening." I ended up on the streets mainly because of a few

incidents with my dad. At some points I would be in a corner

crying my eyes out thinking - what can I eat? What can I do with

myself? Where can I go? I couldn't tell my friends I had been kicked

out. It makes you think to yourself - what have I done to deserve this?

I've lost everything. We give them, I think some warmth. We give them a

meal, if they want one. They have a room. Most of the time, they want

to talk. It put a roof over my head a lovely atmosphere. It feels like

a family than people looking after you. Night Stop got me a doctor,

counselling, training, and most of all, a home. I still think to

myself, what would I have done without them? It's good to get

across the fact of what opening a koor door is, putting a meal on a

table and giving someone a bed, how that transforms things for a young

person. That is what Night Stop does. I get to dream because of

Night Stop. It's priceless. So, yes!

APPLAUSE There you go.

APPLAUSE I'd just like to thank every single

person that voted for us. It really demonstrates the support from the

community for our work and thank you for the vital funds from the

Lottery that enabled this work and our dedicated team of volunteers

who have opened their doors to vulnerable, homeless young people.

This is saving lives and this make it is worth it.

Our next category is Heritage. We have someone who feels strongly

about traditional skills. Once described as the Simon Cowell of

baking, from the Great British Bake Off, please welcome Paul Hollywood.

When John said, Heritage, you thought of prue sames, archives and

Mary Berry. Sorry, Mary, the National Lottery funds much wider

range of projects. This year's winner was a beautiful building

falling into ruin. Thanks to the vision of two friends, it has been

restored to its former glory. The award for Heritage goes to...

Durlston Castle. APPLAUSE

Let's take a look. Situated along Durlston coastline the town plays

host to the Durlston Castle project. With help from National Lottery

funding it turned a vision between two locals into a stunning reality.

The vision was to create a world- class facility for visitors to

Durlston and the wider world heritage coast. What is really

important was getting the castle back as part of the Park. Heritage

Lottery gave us the money to develop the ideas. It grew and grew.

It was exciting. In the end, fulfilling because it has happened.

It has been left for so many years uncared for, not looked after and

not worked. Now, it's the finished article. This building was derelict

before. To have it now living, breathing, full of people, it's

fantastic. Everyone that has come here has said "wow, this is

fantastic." I was thrilled to bits to see what had been done to the

place and we're going to have a super place for generations to come.

I think the whole town and area should be proud of Durlston Castle.

To see it come to reality in the way it has done, it's one of the

best things that has happened to me, in my life. It's worked. You have

to pinch yourself, it did actually work!

APPLAUSE Congratulations. Thank you. I'm

absolutely thrilled and honoured to accept this award. I would like to

say a huge thank you to everybody that voted, especially in swannage,

and elsewhere as well, our fantastic friends in Durlston for

all the work they do for us and the project team we had and the

Heritagage Lottery and our other funders for making it happen. On

behalf of the county council, a massive thank you to everybody.

Thank you. APPLAUSE

Our next category is Sport in association with Best Magazine. You

will agree we have had a lot of sport this year. It's not only our

elite athletes that eve National Lottery funding. Small sports clubs

and facilities all over the country benefit too. This year's winner is

Back to Netball. It has motivated all over the country to return to

the sport. Many have found it, not just life-changing, but some even

life-saving. We sent someone pretty special to present them with their

trophy. Take a look. I'm Chris Hoy, I'm here at a sports centre in

Manchester to surprise a Back to Netball training session and to

find out what makes their project so special. I believe there are 30

ladies inside there who I will present with this award. Wish me

luck! Hi, guys. Congratulations. You won the National Lottery Best

Sporting Programme Award. Well done to you all. A round of applause.

APPLAUSE I think you are going to need to

put this on. Really? We have to make you play if you are here.

them, go on then. There you go. Fits like a glove!

Back to Netball is a reintroduction to the sport for ladies of all ages

and ability. We run 1,000 sessions across England. It's a fun and

socialable way to get back into the sport. My attitude to college and

everything else wasn't brilliant. It inspired me to apply to

university on a sport coaching course. It changed me. I fell

pregnant with Fletcher. He was born at 12llb. He spent nine weeks in

hospital. He is doing everything he should be at five months. We are

chilled and have so much fun at the sessions. He gets to see me being

happy and relaxed. Don't snu Loads of the women come on their own.

They make friends and they go out on a Friday night. That is what

it's all about. I think it's more of a defender than a shooter!

Across the country so many things you don't hear about that are

happening that the Lottery is supporting. If you invest in sport

and put money into it and encourage athletes and children to get into

sport, then the results come. There you go. Congratulations. Katie,

what does it mean to you to win this award? It's so fantastic.

Thank you so much to everybody that voted. We are just so delighted.

Congratulations. Now, we have been talking about some pretty big

numbers here tonight, now we welcome a lady who knows something

about that. She told over 20 million records worldwide,

nominated for three Grammy Awards and reached No 1 in over 30

countries around the world to sing Lovebird, put your hands together

# I would lay down next to you # Stay in bed all afternoon

# We were birds of a feather # We were always together

# And I never will forget # All the little things you said

# And that beautiful summer # you used to call me a love bird

# But the time went on, the wind has blown and I have grown

# And I started a feeling # That wings had been broken

# And I can't believe that I would ever want to be set free

# But I just can't stay # So your love bird's flying away

# My heart's been stuck in a cage # And I miss you every day

# But there's nothing left to say # Gotta sing my song, so pretty

# I want the world at my feet # Even if it's bittersweet,

# I want to stand on my own and put my heart in my own hands

# I I begun to see # That you and me are different

breeds # So I gotta believe in

# I gotta get back to breathing # I can't believe that I would ever

want to be set free # But I just can't stay

# So your love bird's flying away # My heart's been stuck in a cage

# Gotta sing my song, so pretty # Dum, dum, diddy

# I miss you every day # But there's nothing left to say

# Gotta Singh sing - sing my song, so pretty

# And you will always be a part of # You made me who I am

# But I gotta say I am not afraid # To test my wingspan

# If you love something let it go, let it go

# Open up the gate # Cause your love bird's flying

away # Your love bird's flying away

I miss you # Song so pretty, dum, dum, diddy

Leona Lewis! We will be bringing you the live Lotto rollover draw

and thupb then and -- and thupb then and Plus Five results. The

next award is Best Arts Project and to present this we have someone in

the new film Great Expectations, please welcome Tamzin Outhwaite.

Evening. Imagine any art form and it's a safe bet the National

Lottery funds in some way. Whether it's music, dance, painting,

theatre or film. This year's winner is ten years old and is a unique

and surprising gallery in a converted flower mill -- flour mill

on the bank of the River Tyne. It's the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary

Art. It's in the north-east of England. It couldn't have been

built without the �43 million from the lottery. Arlt Art is part of

life. Sometimes people think it's a gallery, how will I be here? But

actually, it's such a welcoming place. Every time people come

there's something new and different to see. Different events to get

involved in. It's so radical. It's so exciting. Everybody can be

involved in it. Anybody can do it, anybody can make their own great

artwork. Even if people don't like it, it's still a really good piece

of art to them. It's a great place to bring kids and they can get down

and dirty dirty with art them themselves here. It inspires me. I

really want to do more art. This is my exhibition, The Encampment of

Eternal Hope. We tend to work with a lot of people, making the work

and becoming a part of the work once it's installed and that's very

much part of BALTIC's ethos. It's an example of what people couldn't

imagine happening in the north-east of Britain and it's happened.

Having an art which is sometimes helpfully challenging, can open

minds and stimulate the imagination. I think that's the most perfect

thing you can bring a young child to. It's by the river, but it's

also something people can really get involved with.

APPLAUSE Well done, congratulations. Thank

you very much. It's absolutely fantastic to be in the company of

these award winners. It's great that the National Lottery has

rewarded us in this way and continues to provide exceptionally

important support for the arts. I need to thank Gateshead council for

being so brave with its arts programme and I need to thank arts

council for supporting that ambition. My colleagues in

Gateshead are fabulous. Our millions of visitors are critical

to us but the votes from the public have made this possible tonight.

Thank you very much. APPLAUSE

Did you know that London 2012 was the greenest Games ever so far?

This leads us nicely on to our next award, which is environment. There

were some fantastic fantastic projects in this category but the

winners of this year's environment award motivates young people to

improve their communities all over the UK. They are Community Space

Challenge and we sent two popstars to visit them.

We have come here to London to spring an unexpected surprise on

the Community Space Challenge to see what difference they make to

people's lives and the areas that they live in. Let's go.

Right. Paul? Hello. Hi. Hey! I am Harry. Hello, Harry, nice meet you.

This is Dougie. We are from McFly and we have special news for you

guys. You guys have won the Environment Award. We want to see

why you have won. There's plenty of work to do. Let's get you some

overalls. Let's do it. Community Space Challenge is projects around

the country. Some are creating community gardens on estates like

this. Some are working in elderly care homes. Some are organising

community events. It's anything that gets young people out

improving the community spaces where they live and working with

the people who live in those communities. This side? Yes, please.

Go for it. Sweet. You meet hundreds of different kids that are helped

by this? It's worked with 12,500 young people over the last five

years. Really? Yeah, yeah. That's amazing. Goodness sake, if you are

going to do this, do it properly! am making it look worse. Before I

joined the project I wouldn't think anything of shoplifting because I

was struggling through not working and now I have hope and a job and I

have a future ahead of me. This project is so much more than just

making the area look nicer. It's about giving the kids a sense of

self-respect. It gives you an opportunity to better your future

and skills and I am a different man than I was, I am more grown up now.

Do you think I would make a good volunteer? We will find out when

you finish this! Well done to everyone at Community Space

Challenge! CHEERING I am here with Community Space Challenge and

project manager Paul. How are you feeling right now? Very excited.

And what does this mean to you? it's a massive honour on behalf

receiving this, but the award belongs to the young people and the

people who have supported them across the country that have helped

to make Community Space Challenge a success. So, you know, it goes to

young people in Barking and Birmingham, in Manchester, in

Wandsworth, Warrington, can I mention the other 63? Well, how

about congratulations to all those young people? Congratulations and

also what a great way for the British people to say thank you to

them all. This is great. Congratulations to you guys. Our

next award is for education. To present it please welcome full-time

actor and part-time dancer, Colin Salmon.

APPLAUSE . Good evening. Education doesn't

just happen in schools, no matter how young or old you are, the

National Lottery funds lots of projects where you can learn new

things. Tonight's winners got together to set up a wildlife and

nature reserve on tee side where families can enjoy a unique outdoor

learning experience. Our winners are Lifelong Learning at Saltholme.

Let's look at the inspiring work they do.

It's all about helping people connect with this amazing landscape

around us. It's unique, you have this industry, but yet as well you

have this amazing wildlife right on people's doorsteps. We basically

use Saltholme reserve for inspiration for different courses.

Today we have been running a family learning course. It's a great

opportunity for families to just enjoy being together. It's

brilliant because you get to work with your child and see what they

are doing in school as well as out of school and you are involved in

it all. They look at the soil, at the compost and think there's

nothing in that and they discover that there is! I have got a

milipede and a spider. It works because you are taken out of the

environment of being sat in school and it's more hands-on. It's

important for education of all ages because it's from small children

that come along with schools but it's also about adult groups to do

photographry and art and everything in between. Liam just said he could

see all the - do you remember last week we were talking about that,

the industry and the factories and the works you can see. It's

brilliant to have it here, something to be proud of in the

area. We really feel this is important for the local people.

This isn't a flash in the pan, hereditary -- we are here for the

long-term. Thank you. In this day and age of

computer games and virtual reality, the RSPB is committed to working

hard to get young people out into the real world and get them

connected with nature and this accolade this evening has been

tremendous for all those people involved, for all those people who

voted for us and thank you very much to the National Lottery Awards

for their generous support. Thank you very much.

APPLAUSE Thank you. Our last award is Best Health

Project in association with aoeuvillage. And to present this

please welcome two gorgeous blonde bombshells who have taken an

evening off from Albert Square. We all want to be healthy but the

drama of everyday life often means it's our health that takes a back

seat. Just think, if Albert Square received a lottery grant we would

all be a lot happier. Tonight's winner has created a number of

pioneering community-led projects from schemes to support women with

breast cancer to exercise classes for older people. They are the

Bogside and Brandywell Health Forum. Let's take a look.

It was established in 2001. The aim of the forum is to improve the

health and well-being of local people. This is a socially and

economically deprived community. People don't have access to the

same resources as maybe in more affluent areas. We concentrate a

lot of our work on supporting older people to either maintain health or

improve their health. Before I came here I was really overweight. But

depressed. A couch potato would be a great description. I had a triple

by-pass in 2009. When I came home I was lying about the house, very

depressed. After I retired I had nothing to do but run to the pub

four and five nights a week. One of the most successful programmes is

the exercise referral programme. What the programme is about is

providing a new lease of life. are going to look 25 on your next

birthday! Older people have benefited from the programme and

are able to row the full length of the river and socialise with people

they previously didn't know. gets me out of the house and I have

made new friends. It's been life- changing, I have lost a lot of

weight. Three stone. I am happier since I started coming to the gym.

It means the world to me coming here. The programme is worth its

weight in gold. It's something this community is very, very proud of.

am an old guy and at one point looked at myself as a old guy and

APPLAUSE When we started the Healthy Living

Centre more than ten years ago the people of Derry were feeling the

pleasure of peace after 30 years of conflict. In 2013, it's the Derry's

big year, the City of Culture. Go there. It's the place to be. Thanks

for voting. Thank you for being your Lottery tickets.

APPLAUSE 2012 has been an extraordinary year

for the UK. Who can possibly forget London's amazing summer of sport?

Paralympic Games and helped our athletes win a huge number of

medals. Let's remind yourselves of some of those remarkable events. --

independent adjudicator. The all- important winning numbers, please.

If you matched all of those numbers, congratulations, �500,000 is now

what tonight is all about, good causes. Here is a special thank you

message for all of you. I want to wish everyone involved with the

National Lottery a very happy 18th birthday. It is extraordinary to

think that in just 18 years, people playing the National Lottery have

raised �29 billion for good causes. Every penny of that money is making

a difference. From getting behind local community projects and

supporting some of our most vulnerable people, to boosting our

internationally reknowned heritage, arts and film industries, and

providing vital support in the success of Team GB and Paralympics

GB this summer. Just like our great Olympians and Paralympians,

tonight's award winners show what the best of our country is bfplt on

behalf of the nation I want to say a big thank you to them and all

those who have done such great work with Lottery funding. The National

Lottery has become a great institution in our country, and its

support for good causes is a source of great pride. Long may it stay

that way. APPLAUSE
