The £50,000 PEOPLE'S GRANT winner is... Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary!

What a response! You cast an incredible 24,358 votes - thank you to everyone who took part.

Your votes crowned Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary the winner for their veterinary suite project. This one really captured hearts! The new suite will slash their hefty £200,000 annual vet bill and generate income by serving the local community. A true game-changer.

The four other finalists impressed us so much that we've awarded £5,000 to each runner-up to support their projects.
