Award winning venue The Brink has been shortlisted for this year’s National Lottery Awards.
The Brink celebrate their success
Now in its twelfth year, The National Lottery Awards is an annual event that aims to search the UK for the nation’s favourite Lottery funded projects, which are then shortlisted into seven categories: Arts, Education, Environment, Heritage, Health, Sport and Voluntary/Charity.
The Brink is the UK’s first dry bar and has been recognised for its efforts in delivering forward thinking health initiatives. Standing as the North West’s only contender in the awards, The Brink has beaten over 600 entries to become one of only six finalists in the Best Health Project category.
General Manager Carl Bell said: “We were already so proud when we found out we were up for the award against some amazing competition. To be shortlisted as a finalist is really exciting and it’s wonderful to receive recognition for all of the hard work that we do.”
“At The Brink we aim to provide a vibrant space in the city centre where guests from a range of backgrounds can come together, socialise and enjoy a great range of alcohol-free drinks and delicious menu offerings. Of course, all of our profits are filtered back into the community to support recovery so it makes for a great feel good factor for all of our customers.”
The National Lottery Awards are open to a public vote until 29th July and can be accessed online and through dedicated phone lines. The winner of each category will then be invited to appear on national television and receive a £2,000 cash prize to be spent on their project. Winners will also receive an award trophy to display at their venue.
Carl Bell added: “It’s already been such a memorable year for us and The Brink is going from strength to strength. As well as becoming a finalist in this year’s National Lottery Awards, we were recently crowned ‘Bar of the Year’ at the Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards 2015. Therefore, we would love to add another trophy to our cabinet. With that in mind we are urging the people of the North West to get behind us and vote, vote, vote!”
Winners will be announced in August with an awards ceremony to take place on 11th September in London.
