27/10/2012 The National Lottery Saturday Night Draws

It's Saturday 27th October. It's time to make some winners! Here to

help, OJ Borg. Thank you. Coming up Thunderball and Lotto. First,

voting is to close for this year's National Lottery awards. We have

been showcasing finalists in the categories to help you decide who

to vote for and tonight it's the time of the voluntary and charity

category. Let's begin with the first of three films, with Kidz

Unlimited. Kidz Unlimited programme has 42

clubs around England. It's a youth club basically for young wheelchair

users where you do lots of fun activities but also new life skills.

Before Kidz Unlimited I don't think I met a disabled person before. I

didn't feel there were other people that had the same experiences that

I could get in touch with easily and get to know. We have 1,000

young people as part of a network through the lottery funding, our

kids are talking to the Prime Minister, they're talking to the

office for disability issues, they're talking to the change-

makers. Every disabled person can be independent and be who they want

to be. I can't tell you how much I have changed. I am now ambitious, I

want to have a future and I know I am going to have a good job. I feel

capable of going to university. I can say that now and that's through

Kidz Unlimited. Another two fantastic films coming

up, plus details on how you can cast your all-important vote before

voting closes tomorrow at midnight. Right now, we are all set for

closely! This could make a huge Here are tonight's Thunderball

Thank you very much, Alan. The Lotto straw moments away. First

here are the final two films for the voluntary and charity category,

the first of which is New Forest Nightstop.

It provides emergency accommodation for homeless young people in the

New Forest. We provide accommodation through homes of

trained and approved volunteers. soon as I got to Nightstop I was

offered a bed, I was offered to have a bath, food. The hosts are so

friendly. Feeling like you are not wanted or loved, I think there is -

most basic human needs and when you're not feeling any of that, it

is - you feel there is no point. Before we received our lottery

funding we had almost closed. So to have this amount of time to be

making difference is amazing. smile now because I am so happy. I

have seen so many of my dreams come true and that's because Nightstop

was there for me. I know it saved my life.

Details on how to vote are coming up after the final film which is

Freewheeling At Adrenalin Alley. Adrenalin Alley was born out of one

night of antisocial behaviour. My son was targeted by local thugs who

decided because he had a skateboard they were going to beat him up. The

kids said to me, it's not just skateboarders, it's the BMX-ers,

because they haven't facilities to go to they're driven to places

where they shouldn't be. My son was diagnosed with a brain tumour. He

was in a wheelchair. We didn't have choices of where he wanted to go in

the things he was passionate about. When the lottery funding became

available we thought this is our chance to start including some more

disabled participants. I have been coming here since the place opened.

I supported them all the time. I love skateboarding because it gives

me ambition to try new things. he skates he calms down. He is

happier. He's got people to mix with and to talk to. Friends. The

skatepark is his life. My son passed away in September 2010. It's

my way of saying to John, I have done everything I can, I did

everything, the best way I can to... To bring your passion and what you

really wanted and let so many people benefit from your loss.

It is going to be a tough choice to decide which one of the three

voluntary and charity finalists to vote for but a choice you must make

because by doing so you are helping to raise awareness of the projects

within local communities. To vote, head online and follow links.

Voting closes tomorrow at midnight. There are seven categories to vote

in and all the finalists are available to view online. Back to
