The Lancashire Sports Awards have been developed in partnership with each of Lancashire's local authorities in order to celebrate sporting achievement and spread best practice throughout the County.

Many Thanks go to all the Sponsors supporting this year's event.

One of the ways is through their Funds 4 Clubs scheme which was launched in 2010. This provides clubs and other organisations with much needed funds in return for members using their services. The scheme is simple. If you (or your friends and family) require legal services, and your club is registered with us, contact MWR quoting "Funds4Clubs scheme" and they will do the rest.
