BIG
Lottery Funding
The
Jubilee People's Millions
The
Big Lottery Fund and ITV, with the approval of Buckingham
Palace, will be helping to mark the Queen’s Diamond
Jubilee in 2012. They are looking for new projects that will
improve local places and the lives of people in your community.
In June 2011 ITV
regional news will feature two great project ideas in each
region each night for three nights, competing for viewers’
phone votes. At stake is up to £60,000 from the Big
Lottery Fund.
To have a chance
of winning you’ll need to inspire local people to get
involved with your project. It’ll also need to capture
the public’s imagination and persuade them to vote for
you.
They have
£3.6 million to give out and expect to make four awards
in each ITV region.
