The People’s Millions has proved to be an exciting venture for the Big Lottery Fund, breaking new ground by giving people a say in how Lottery money is spent in local communities throughout the UK.

We are looking to build on the success of previous years, by continuing the The People’s Millions competition in 2008. We have already funded 229 projects across the UK, and hope to fund 90 new projects in 2008.

There will be four head-to-head competitions in each of the 18 ITV regions. That means 72 winning projects. In addition we will make another 18 bonus awards for the runners-up who score highest in each region.

This year the maximum grant will be £50,000 plus VAT.

In The People’s Millions we want to fund projects that transform the local environment or provide opportunities or facilities to allow people to take part and enjoy their local area.
