Ready, Steady, Go…
...to a Million Pounds for Warsop Parish
Late in 2010, working with local representatives of your community and service providers, The Big Local Lottery made an award of at least £1million to Warsop on the basis that it was an area of proven need and had previously been overlooked for receiving lottery money. The project is called the Big Local Trust.
