Is there a project in your community that deserves to win £10,000 towards a renovation thanks to Wickes?

Tell us all about your community project

We know that community projects are at the heart of every village, town, and city no matter how big or small. They bring people together and allow them to have a space to enjoy. However sometimes places need a little help and our friends at Wickes want to give you a ten-thousand-pound renovation to help a community project you are involved in. 

Whether your children’s football clubs need a revamp, your local garden patch needs a lift or the community hall that needs an overhaul we want to hear all about it below. 

If selected your community project will win £10,000 towards a renovation!

Host the Dave Berry Breakfast Show at your community project

Once the renovation has taken place Dave and the team will come and host the breakfast show live from the community project to celebrate the renovation and meet the community that make it all happen!

    *The winner is the person who is announced as the final winner by the breakfast team on-air on 08/04/2022. This person will be selected from the three finalists who will be bought to-air from 05/04/2022- 07/04/2022.

     

    **The finalists are the persons who are bought to-air from 05/04/2022- 07/04/2022.

     

    Once the prize has been awarded the winner will be expected to complete the renovation using the prize ensuring their Bauer production manager is informed of the progress at pre-determined stages throughout. This can be discussed after the win and Bauer can work with the winner to ensure this is possible.

     

    After the renovation is completed the Absolute Radio breakfast show will visit the site and perform an outside broadcast of their show at the community centre or project.
