Derby 2005 Launch

After the success of the Derby Make it Happen Awards in 2003, Combined Insurance teamed up with the Derby Evening Telegraph again to start another £10,000 give-away on 5th July 2005.

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

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.
