House-builder Miller Homes is again giving local sports clubs across the country
the opportunity to win £500.

To enter the competition, entrants simply have to explain in no more than 200 words
why their sports club deserves to win, how the money will be sent, and what it will
be spent on.

There are six £500 prizes available – one for each of the company’s regions: Scotland,
North East, North West, Yorkshire, Midlands, Southern.

Chris Endsor, Chief Executive of Miller Homes, said:

>  “We are delighted to be running our popular Summer of Sport initiative for the
> third year running, and so far this summer have seen a number of promising entries”.

One of the winners last year was Birmingham Blitz Dames. Ness Cole, head of fundraising
at the group, said:

>  “The prize money has helped us to expand our club and involve new people in the
> sport. We were able to purchase new equipment – skates, helmets and pads – to 
> be used by new recruits until they are able to buy their own, meaning we can easily
> accommodate new skaters. This funding really can make a big difference to local
> sports clubs.”
