Jewson has revealed details of its fourth Building Better Communities competition, which gives plumbers the chance to apply for a share of a £250,000 prize fund.
Whether it’s a community project close to their heart or a deserving colleague who needs a helping hand, plumbers can put forward their good cause to win a share of £250,000 in building materials, with two top prizes of up to £50,000.
The competition launched on April 9 and entrants have until May 9, 2018, to submit their application.
Building Better Communities has a range of categories rewarding both community projects and heroes of the building trade. After launching its Trade Hero category in 2017, Jewson is giving more to the trade this year with £100,000 of the total prize fund put aside to support those in the industry.
A further £150,000 of the Building Better Communities fund will be awarded to community groups in need of a boost: whether it’s a new roof for a youth centre or revamped changing rooms for a sports club.
After a shortlisting process and a public vote, the winning projects will be announced on July 3 at a ceremony hosted by celebrity architect, George Clarke.
