A COMMUNITY-led children and families project is celebrating after being nominated for a national award.
The Dovecote Centre in Greater Leys has been shortlisted in the best community project on a social housing estate in the Groundwork charity's community awards.
Representatives from Dovecote will travel to the House of Commons on Thursday to discover whether they have won the award.
The project has been running for 22 years and offers a base for local residents where they can access support, training opportunities, employment, or simply, a friendly face to chat to,
People who benefit from the project nominated them for the award and other shortlisted include The Attic in Dundee and The Viking Centre in Barton-upon-Humber.
Rachel Partlett, volunteer chairperson, said: "We are extremely proud and humbled to have been recognised for this worthy award. It has given a massive boost for our project."
