**Seventeen community and environmental projects around the country contested this
year’s Biffaward Awards ceremony held in Manchester on 3 October.**

Peter Jones OBE, Biffa’s Director of External Affairs, presented the Overall Winner’s
prize to Long Whatton Cricket Club near Loughborough, Leicestershire; the Club won
the Small Grants category and then went on to claim the top prize – a total prize
of £7,000.

The aim of the annual event – now in its ninth year – is to celebrate the achievements
of the community and environmental projects supported by Biffaward and to highlight
the diversity of work made possible by its grants through the Landfill Communities
Fund.
