Selco Community Heroes
The biggest and best Community Heroes yet!
This year, we launched the fifth edition of our Selco Community Heroes campaign – and it's been bigger and better than ever before!
The prize fund for this year’s Community Heroes is an incredible £57,500 – nearly five times what has been on offer previously.
From February to September, we selected 40 different organisations that benefit their local community to win £1,000 worth of building materials from their local Selco to use on a project or building.
Our Selco customers and colleagues have now selected 10 grand finalists to go before a public vote.
The top three groups with the most votes will receive fantastic cash prizes of £10,000 for first, £5,000 for runners-up and £2,500 for third.
Each of the 10 finalists have a short video below explaining their cause and what they'd do with the cash. Cast your vote today!
Please do not vote on this form more than once per day. Additional votes will not be counted.
Voting closes Sunday 14 December at 23:59pm.
