**Nominations for Spar’s Hero Next Door competition close on 31 August with a chance
to win up to £10,000 for local communities.**

The competition asks people to nominate those doing ‘amazing work’ for their local
sports team or club for the [People’s Podium award](https://www.spar-ni.co.uk/competition/peoples-podium).
The grand prize is £10,000 for their club, with runners up winning £2,000.

Last year Spar awarded gymnastic coach Mike Briggs £10,000 to help his local club
in Dumfries improve its facilities. Runners up included Zahra Butt, a boxing coach
from Nottingham, and Danny Antsey from the City of Plymouth Trampoline and Gymnastics
Club.
