Regional prize doubled
For this year’s campaign, Jewson has doubled the regional prize fund to £200,000.
This is open to applications from improvement projects across England, Scotland and Wales. Community groups can all apply for help with renovations large or small, with applications for building materials of between £500 and £10,000.
In addition, one project will receive a top prize of £50,000 for materials and labour.
Trade Hero
This year Jewson has added a new category for ‘Trade Hero’. This celebrates construction workers who carry out the behind the scenes tasks in their community that often go unnoticed.
The winner will receive £50,000 worth of building materials, to enable them to complete a worthy community project.
The deadline for entries and nominations to Building Better Communities is 5th May 2017.
