What does it take for a person to make a big impact? What drives them? Where do they find inspiration?
In the brand-new revamped series of Game Changers, Aimee Fuller – two-time Olympian – meets ordinary people who do extraordinary things with a little help from The National Lottery.
This extra special series celebrates the 30th birthday of The National Lottery, and Aimee hears from people who have achieved remarkable things across the UK. From the person who has brought millions of people together through parkrun, to the Discovery Centre attracting a new, diverse, generation to Jodrell Bank. From a voluntary project helping isolated elderly people, to the visionary gym that went viral after helping people with disabilities work up a sweat and get fit.
Aimee discovers how the people who built these projects broke through, and how they continue to bring profound change, inspiration, and collective joy to millions.
Joining us are the likes of Sir Tony Robinson and Adele Roberts, who champion Game Changers across the worlds of arts, heritage, community and sport. They introduce specially created artworks at major landmarks - at Whitby Abbey with its windswept cliffs, at the parkland oasis of St James Park, and the bustling V&A Museum in London.
Join Aimee Fuller on an extraordinary journey.
Game Changers is brought to you by National Lottery players, who raise £30 million each week for good causes across the UK. For more information about projects that help ordinary people, visit: https://www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk
