Selco Builders Warehouse has revamped its annual Community Heroes competition and groups in Leeds are now being invited to submit their entries.

The Community Heroes total prize fund has been increased to an eye-catching £57,500 for 2025 nearly five-times more than it has been in previous years.

It means more community groups, clubs and charities than ever before will benefit from winning either building materials or money to make a huge difference to their futures.

Entries are open until the end of September and can be submitted at www.selcobw. com/info/selco-communityheroes

Applicants will be looking to follow in the footsteps of the 2024 winners, Fox Wood School in Warrington.

The school will be using its prize to fund new specialist wheelchairfriendly play equipment for its pupils having pipped St Christopher's Hospice in London to win the public vote.
