:06:24. > :06:32.I am here in County Durham to visit a project which is really exciting.
:06:33. > :06:35.It is called Come Eat Together. It encourages older people to eat
:06:36. > :06:41.healthy food, to communicate and to socialise. They think I am here
:06:42. > :06:49.today to serve their lunch. I'm here to serve something really special.
:06:50. > :06:55.Looking forward to having John come down today. As long as he does not

:09:17. > :09:18.Malnutrition, loneliness and social isolation are major public health

:09:36. > :09:52.I would also like to thank everybody who voted for us. To know that this
:09:53. > :09:53.award was decided by a public vote makes this particularly special.
:09:54. > :10:01.Thank you very much indeed. Still to come,
:10:02. > :10:03.we have the fabulous Pixie Lott, and the brand new special
:10:04. > :10:05.achievement award to acknowledge Now if like me you are a big fan
:10:06. > :10:21.of Aristotle, you will know that he said educating
:10:22. > :10:25.the mind without educating It is not the first time I have
:10:26. > :10:37.heard that! And our next presenter is
:10:38. > :10:39.living proof of that. He is a man who is an expert in his
:10:40. > :10:43.field - quite literally, as a field Please welcome Mr Springwatch,
:10:44. > :10:46.Autumnwatch, Winterwatch - and I have no idea what he does
:10:47. > :10:50.in the summer ? Chris Packham. This education award is for
:10:51. > :10:52.a project very close to my heart. It?s something I feel
:10:53. > :10:55.so passionately about and have done The purpose of this project is to
:10:56. > :11:06.educate the next generation to understand the importance
:11:07. > :11:27.of the wildlife around us. I am open here in this beautiful
:11:28. > :11:37.moorland landscape because I am looking for a very rare bird. A hen
:11:38. > :11:41.harrier. What makes these birds so special in my opinion is there a
:11:42. > :11:46.magnificent mating display. The male hen harrier dances to attract the
:11:47. > :11:52.attention of the female. It is this that gives the hen harrier the game
:11:53. > :11:56.at is most famous for. Skydancers. Very sadly, the hen harrier is
:11:57. > :12:04.almost on the brink of distinction in England. But this project run by
:12:05. > :12:09.the RSPB and very aptly called Kite -- Skydancers is doing all it can to
:12:10. > :12:18.address this problem. Does anybody know what camouflaged means? The
:12:19. > :12:22.hope is that education and awareness will help their protection and their
:12:23. > :12:27.conservation. You have been involved in this project from its very
:12:28. > :12:30.beginning. It gives me a tremendous amount of pleasure to present you
:12:31. > :12:38.with this year's National Lottery Live education award. Thank you so
:12:39. > :12:44.much. This is really incredible. The project aims to raise awareness and
:12:45. > :12:49.promote the preservation of hen harriers. We have working with local
:12:50. > :12:53.schools, taking them out on the Moores, experiencing the habitat for
:12:54. > :12:59.the first time. These are the conservationist of the future. This
:13:00. > :13:02.is where we have had only two of three or four nests in England this
:13:03. > :13:06.year. We have been guarding them around the clock. We have nine new
:13:07. > :13:13.hen harriers flying around these guys this year, which is absolutely
:13:14. > :13:20.brilliant. What is it about hen harriers that impresses you? The way
:13:21. > :13:29.the mail drops the food to be female and she wields away and brings it
:13:30. > :13:36.back to the nest. It is amazing. There it is. I can just see them
:13:37. > :13:42.moving through my binoculars. But even that is enough from A.
:13:43. > :13:45.Fabulous. That is because of Skydancers, looking after these
:13:46. > :13:50.nests. Otherwise these birds simply would not be there.
:13:51. > :13:53.On behalf of Skydancers, please welcome to the stage
:13:54. > :14:11.We are so grateful to everyone who voted for us.
:14:12. > :14:16.Public support is the lifeblood of any conservation project, and
:14:17. > :14:19.the lottery funding has allowed us to engage with whole communities,
:14:20. > :14:30.who live and work in the areas where hen harriers should be.
:14:31. > :14:35.Thank you so much to everybody who has been involved and thank you
:14:36. > :14:41.somewhat to everybody who voted for us.
:14:42. > :14:44.These days our screens are overflowing with great British
:14:45. > :14:47.dramas, and here to present the award for environment is a lady who
:14:48. > :14:50.is at the heart of one the nation?s favourite shows - it?s only Shelagh
:14:51. > :14:54.Turner, previously known as Sister Bernadette from Call the Midwife.
:14:55. > :15:12.If you live in a city you probably take it for granted that it?s easy
:15:13. > :15:18.But some parts of the country are cut off from
:15:19. > :15:22.other communities and rely on long, complicated journeys to get around.
:15:23. > :15:25.The Helix Project in Falkirk decided to solve this
:15:26. > :15:29.problem in a big way, and I was invited to see the results.
:15:30. > :15:37.No prizes for guessing my mode of transport.
:15:38. > :15:46.In the heart of central Scotland lies the the Helix Project, an
:15:47. > :15:51.eco-park that sits between Falkirk and Grangemouth. This place is so
:15:52. > :16:00.big Unigate bike to get around it. Why wasn't I given a 1950s one? This
:16:01. > :16:07.is more like it. An electric bike. A slight update to what I am used to.
:16:08. > :16:10.The Helix Project has been through an unrecognisable transformation of
:16:11. > :16:14.the last eight years and now offers an extensive 27 kilometre path
:16:15. > :16:22.network which connects 16 local committees. And not forgetting the
:16:23. > :16:31.16 mile cycle route, which is a lots smoother than the cobbled streets of
:16:32. > :16:35.poplar. What is it you do? I'm involved in the beekeepers project.
:16:36. > :16:39.We invite people to come in and experience what it is to open a
:16:40. > :16:43.hive, look at the Bees, taste the honey and learn a bit more about how
:16:44. > :16:48.important they are to the environment and to food. You have
:16:49. > :16:54.been involved from the start. What does this place mean to you? It is
:16:55. > :16:59.an inspiring place. People can get involved, get some physical
:17:00. > :17:04.activity. Families are getting together and embracing the space. It
:17:05. > :17:09.has redefined Falkirk. One of the most impressive sight series by the
:17:10. > :17:17.canal. These two giant horse heads have become the centrepiece of the
:17:18. > :17:21.the Helix Project. They are absolutely magnificent. I've seen
:17:22. > :17:27.photographs of them, to be up close and see them like this is really
:17:28. > :17:32.quite something. David, how big are these? They are one of the world's
:17:33. > :17:37.largest equine structures, standing up 13 metres tall. It was a huge
:17:38. > :17:43.challenge, it took 90 days to build them. Been bobbing Great Britain of
:17:44. > :17:49.sculpture. The horses used to work on the canals. What they have done
:17:50. > :17:53.to this area is very positive. I have had an absolutely fantastic day
:17:54. > :17:59.and it gives me great pleasure to present you with this!
:18:00. > :18:02.Congratulations! On behalf of everybody, thank you for such a

:21:01. > :21:05.in the media. What got you involves? I became disabled suddenly, at aged

:21:10. > :21:14.had gone from being represented in the media, to suddenly not, and it
:21:15. > :21:19.was a horrible shock. It is true. When I look at industry I am in,
:21:20. > :21:24.music, fashion, clothing, you might not see disabled people. Since
:21:25. > :21:28.coming here and meeting you, it has opened my mind up and it is

:34:31. > :34:33.example of a community coming The Chandelier of Lost Earrings is a
:34:34. > :34:37.project that tells personal stories Some were remembering old friends,
:34:38. > :34:43.some celebrating new life and other coming to terms with loss
:34:44. > :34:56.all linked together What do you do with a single
:34:57. > :35:05.earring, and hearing without a peer? The Chandelier of Lost
:35:06. > :35:09.Earrings is a sculpture made from over 300 single earrings. As a
:35:10. > :35:12.jewellery designer I am always surrounded by amazing earrings. I
:35:13. > :35:19.love the sound of this project. I cannot wait to see what 3000
:35:20. > :35:22.hearings will look like. Lauren, you are responsible for this amazing,
:35:23. > :35:29.incredible chandelier. How did this idea come about? It started at Saint
:35:30. > :35:32.Mary 's Hospital in Manchester. We wanted to make something that people
:35:33. > :35:39.were able to respond to in a very positive way. Where did the earrings
:35:40. > :35:44.come from? We started collecting them from staff and patients. By
:35:45. > :35:50.word-of-mouth we started getting loads from Manchester, London,
:35:51. > :35:54.Spain, the states. Why has it resonated so well with the public?
:35:55. > :35:58.There is not a woman who does not go, I know what you mean, I have got
:35:59. > :36:02.some in the earrings that love that I cannot wear any more but I don't
:36:03. > :36:07.want to throw them away. Those who contributed also shared the story is
:36:08. > :36:17.attached to the earrings via letters. There are 3000 stories, one
:36:18. > :36:22.of which is Jean's. She has not yet seen and -- seen the finished
:36:23. > :36:27.chandelier. It is breathtaking. I have always loved earrings. I have
:36:28. > :36:31.got 150 pairs. It was the perfect project for me to become involved
:36:32. > :36:37.in. I never thought it was going to be this good. What is the story
:36:38. > :36:43.behind your earring? My favourite one was one my husband bought me on
:36:44. > :36:47.holidays. I lost him a couple of years ago now. It was my way of
:36:48. > :36:54.putting it into the chandelier so it can shine down on me. This is the
:36:55. > :37:06.earring my husband gave me. Nice to see it again. Give it a little case
:37:07. > :37:10.for Jeff. I personally think this is an incredible project and I am very
:37:11. > :37:13.proud to give you this award. I am really delighted for all the people
:37:14. > :37:15.who have been involved in the project. There are so many of them.

:37:24. > :37:29.the stage the artists behind the chandelier of lost earrings, Lauren
:37:30. > :37:37.Sager and Sharon Campbell. We would like to accept this award
:37:38. > :37:40.on behalf of the hundreds of people who have, in different ways, been
:37:41. > :37:43.involved in this project, especially the people of Manchester and Burnley
:37:44. > :37:52.who have really backed us, the supported the project. With special
:37:53. > :37:55.thanks to our families who have Well, this has been
:37:56. > :38:18.a fantastic evening, and now we come to the final award of the night,
:38:19. > :38:37.the Special Achievement Award. The reason I have been here for so
:38:38. > :38:41.many years is because the national lottery promotes community, positive
:38:42. > :38:43.change and education, all of which I firmly believe in. It is an honour
:38:44. > :38:48.for me to do this. The winner of this award is
:38:49. > :38:51.a young man whose only wish was to His name was Stephen Sutton,
:38:52. > :39:09.and before he died he managed to This award is in recognition
:39:10. > :39:11.of Stephen?s utterly infectious zest for life and his wish to make
:39:12. > :39:14.the world a better place. Jason Manford can tell us
:39:15. > :39:28.a little bit more I do not know how long I have got
:39:29. > :39:33.left to live. One of the reasons for that is because I have not asked. I
:39:34. > :39:36.don't see the point in measuring life in terms of time. I would
:39:37. > :39:41.rather measured in terms of what I actually achieve. This is the
:39:42. > :39:45.picture of Steve and that most of you will already know. A smiling,
:39:46. > :39:53.courageous young man with his thumbs up. The gesture that became a symbol
:39:54. > :39:59.of inspiration. Stephen had been diagnosed with bowel cancer at just
:40:00. > :40:03.15. You cannot give me your time to live longer but I can give you a bit
:40:04. > :40:06.of my motivation to go out there and achieve something, to help others,
:40:07. > :40:17.to make a difference. And that is it.
:40:18. > :40:25.Sadly in May of this year, Stephen lost his valiant fight against
:40:26. > :40:29.cancer. He was 19. But his extraordinary passion to embrace
:40:30. > :40:42.life has meant his message of positivity lives on.
:40:43. > :40:50.Stephen wanted to help others enjoy life. One way he was able to
:40:51. > :40:52.encourage hope and happiness was through the charity, fixtures,
:40:53. > :40:58.supported by the national lottery. VM of my project was to spread
:40:59. > :41:05.kindness. We called it a good gesture campaign. Me and 30 other
:41:06. > :41:11.young people gave away free gifts in Birmingham. Young people often do a
:41:12. > :41:18.lot of good things that go unnoticed. I found the best way to
:41:19. > :41:21.help myself is to help others. Stephen's kindness and dedication to
:41:22. > :41:27.others captured the hearts of the nation. So far he has raised over ?4
:41:28. > :41:33.million for charity. He was determined not to waste a minute,
:41:34. > :41:37.and our or a day. I cannot think of anybody I have met with such a zest
:41:38. > :41:41.for life and a belief that you can get things done and who wanted to
:41:42. > :41:45.live every minute. I want people to remember me as a fun, caring
:41:46. > :41:49.teenager who wanted to make a bit of a difference to the world. So when
:41:50. > :42:07.my friends and family look back they can be proud of me.
:42:08. > :42:15.award on behalf of Stephen, please be upstanding for Stephen?s mum,
:42:16. > :42:52.Thank you, everyone. I'm so proud to accept award on behalf of Stephen.
:42:53. > :42:55.It embraced the values of volunteering, learning, positivity,
:42:56. > :43:00.teamwork and friendship. He would have thought it was awesome to know
:43:01. > :43:15.that what he had started will continue as his legacy. So thank
