‘We need your help’: Deadline looms for votes as Netherfield charity bids for share of £1 million

Time is running out to cast your vote and give a Netherfield charity the chance of winning a share of £1 million.

Netherfield Forum is in the running to win a share of the Persimmon Homes Building Futures fund aimed at supporting organisations who help under-18s across the UK.

Persimmon Homes North Midlands has backed Netherfield Forum to be a prize winner, with cash awards of £100,000, £50,000 or £20,000 being made to those with the most online votes.

A further 87 shortlisted projects will each receive £5,000.

The funds would be used to help transform the town’s former GP surgery on Forester Street into a modern youth hub to benefit the community.

Tina Simpson, who runs Netherfield Forum, said: “If we could win any of the top three cash awards then it would make a massive difference to the communities we support on a daily basis.”

“The top prize would help make improvements to new premises as the current youth centre has been sold. Having a warm and bright property to move in to would provide a haven for young people in the community who come from different backgrounds.”

Through Building Futures, a total of 128 grants of £1,000 have so far been awarded.
