<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">I wanted to get in touch about the Epic Awards. We are working with Voluntary Arts – nationwide body with offices across the UK who champion and support voluntary creative activity. There
are now over 10million UK adults involved in an amateur creative activity and over 60,000 groups!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">The Epic Awards is an annual moment to champion these volunteer run groups the result of which for them is more media exposure, better future partnership offers, more funding opportunities
in the future and more people attending their groups and events as well as an award, dinner and prizes.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">This is an opportunity for every area of the UK and we have winners from last year who are from across the country. The group that won the People’s Choice award was Knitted Knockers who
went on to appear on BBC Breakfast the next day. I am just catching up with their story one year on. You can read about them here -</span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">It would be amazing if you could help us spread the word about it.
</span><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">We need people to nominate their groups before 7 Dec. Then we could celebrate stories in the most appropriate regions through the shortlist period and get people voting…

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">I got a note that the office in England has already been in touch regarding this. Would be great if you could possibly share this with local Scottish community radio stations or share
a list of such (if you have it?) for us to get in touch? <u></u><u></u></span></p>
