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.”

Building Futures is delivered through the Persimmon Charitable Foundation in partnership with Team GB, the British Olympic Association.

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

You can vote for the Forum online until midnight on November 19.
