Heads up, compers! In order to investigate a technical issue, we've had to move some of the older threads from Game Over into a new category called 'Game Over Archives'. It'll be comps from before 2017, so shouldn't have too much impact on your day-to-day Forum experience. Thanks for your patience!

Is there a project in your community that has an outdoor space that needs some love and 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 themselves. However, sometimes places need a little help and our friends at Wickes want to give you a ten-thousand-pound renovation to help the outdoor space for the community project you are involved in.

Whether your children’s football clubs need a revamp, your local garden patch needs a lift or your play-park needs a lick of paint.


Enter below and tell us why a community project you know or are involved in deserves to win £10,000 towards a renovation of their outdoor area.
