Got a great idea for a project to inspire your community? Want to involve local people working together to tackle a problem? The Jubilee People’s Millions could be the answer! The Big Lottery Fund and ITV, with the approval of Buckingham Palace, will be helping to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012 with 60 Lottery grants.
Community groups will be able to apply for up to £60,000 from a total of £3.6million. The funded projects will inspire, involve or improve the local communities they live in. Finalists will be showcased on ITV regional news when the public will vote for the projects they want to receive the Lottery funding.
If you are interested in applying for this programme then please visit www.peoplesmillions.org.uk or phone 0845 0101112. Groups will have until midday on Friday 4 February 2011 to get their entries in. The winning projects will be awarded the funding in summer 2011, in order to be up and running in time for Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee year in 2012.
