Four projects in the north and north-east of Scotland have made it to the final of the National Lottery Awards.

Social Bite, the Granite City Guerrillas, Everton Community Wood and Bravehound are all in the running for an accolade after beating off competition from more than 1,300 entries to make it to last round.

Members of the public will now vote to decide which projects receive funding.

The Granite City Guerrillas are competing in the best sports project category.

The club aims to use dodgeball to boost the local community and be as inclusive as possible.

Social Bite is competing in the best voluntary or charity project.

The sandwich shop on Union Street uses every penny it generates to help the homeless and tackle social problems.

Bravehound, which has entered the same category, matches dogs with veterans to help them return to civilian life.

Evanton Community Wood is competing in the best environment project category.

The group owns and manages the 65 hectare Evanton Wood near Dingwall which attracts more than 4,000 visitors a month and hosts a wide ranging education programme.

A spokeswoman for the National Lottery Awards urged people to vote.

She said: “National Lottery players raise £30 million every single week for good causes and the work done with that money is truly life-changing.

“The National Lottery Awards celebrate the talent and dedication of the amazing staff and volunteers who run these incredible National Lottery funded projects for the benefit of their communities.

“All of the projects have worked very hard to become finalists and they now need your support. So get voting.”

The polls are open until July 27.
