Combined Insurance teamed up with the Bolton Evening News to launch the 6th £10,000 give-away on 17th September 2004.

The scheme gave away a share of a £10,000 prize pool to people, groups and charities who want to benefit the community in the Bolton area.

Later in the year, a panel of judges decided which of the awards entries were most beneficial to the community and most deserving of the cash, then award winners were invited to a special awards ceremony.
