You can nominate businesses of any sector or industry as long as the support they provide is for the community of the South Lakes area.

They could provide funding for activities to happen such as family fun days or sporting events or they may have helped to fund or pay for equipment or buildings to be built or maintained.

This category is also open to social enterprises or non-profits who engage in business that has a social benefit.

The size of the help or donation does not matter, only that the help has made a difference to you or your project.
