A woman in Ulverston who created a family support network is hoping an award win will cap off a near nine-year legacy.
Last month The Mail launched the 'Best Indoor Family Entertainment 2025' award to find the most popular venues in the region.
This asked readers to nominate their favourite places to visit, particularly on a rainy day, with the results creating a 10-nominee shortlist.
Voting is now open to crown the winner and you can show your support by picking up a copy of The Mail by Saturday, April 19.

Toddler Sense South Lakes, based at Brogden Street, has been providing a space for families to visit since 2017.
Beth Skinner, who moved to Ulverston three years prior, first came across the idea in Wolverhampton and was inspired to bring the group to south Cumbria.
She said: "The fun I have had in that class and watching the little miracles grow and develop in front of me is indescribable.
"I luckily got the support and backing from many local parents, some of whom I would now consider close friends, who invested time and money into the classes I brought to the area, helping me and my small business through lockdown and beyond."

Beth recently held her last class after announcing that she would be stepping aside, though her legacy will live on in the form of Baby Sensory South Lakes with groups in Barrow, Swarthmoor, Ulverston and Broughton.
"I have had the absolute pleasure to be part of so many journeys, not only the little peoples but all the amazing parents that have walked through my door," Beth added.
"They have all been a crucial part of my journey too and I will be always grateful for that."
Beth will now be joining Temple of Mumma CIC, a new community play café in Ulverston that is set to open in the near future.
If you believe that Beth deserves recognition for her work at Toddler Sense over the past decade, then make sure to get your copy of The Mail by April 19.
