Summary of the programme
Peoples Millions has proved to be an exciting venture for Big Lottery Fund, breaking new ground by giving people a real say in how lottery money is spent in local communities throughout the UK.
The aim of the competition is to fund projects that provide opportunities for people to enjoy their local area, whether indoors or out, and improve local facilities for all to enjoy.
We have already funded 318 projects across the UK.
This year we intend to fund a further 69 projects of up to £50,000 (including VAT) across the 15 ITV regional news areas
There will be head-to-head competitions in each of the 15 ITV Regions, and we will continue to make the ‘bonus’ awards, that proved so popular in previous years.
