Voting opens on Friday, September 2, to decide the winner of the UK Big Lottery Awards.

Researched and written by Felicity McCall, through Handful Productions, We Were Broythers was put together as an adult play, schools’ production, book and tour, and has been on the circut ever since 2009, making it a hugely successful, self-sustaining project, telling a more accurate story of the men who fought in WWI, both Catholic and Protestant.

“We are in the final three of the Heritage category,” said Ms mcCall, adding: “We finished second in the semi-finals and the votes have been zeroed for the final voting which lasts a fortnight. I have no doubt that we are up against huge voting power, but I also have no doubt that when we go to London in November we can bring home the title as a recognition of the incalculable energy, support, generosity, expertise and commitment everybody have shown throughout the project.”

The number to call to vote from Monday onwards is 0844 836 9717, with calls costing no more than five pence. Voting can also be done online at www.lotterygoodcauses.org/awards and supporters of the project can vote as often as they would like.
