The Big Lottery Fund, with the agreement of Buckingham Palace, will be helping to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012 by offering grants of between £20,000 and £60,000 to support new projects that will improve local places and the lives of people in your community. The Jubilee People’s Millions will be open to applications from voluntary or community organisations, schools, local authorities or health bodies. To have a chance of winning applicants will need to inspire local people to get involved with their project. It’ll also need to capture the public’s imagination and persuade them to vote for the project.
The deadline for applications is the 4th February 2011. Shortlisted projects will be the subject to a public vote within their ITV area. Within Northern Ireland, the programme will continue to be branded as the People’s Millions.
Previous projects supported through the People’s Million include, the redevelopment of an existing concrete playground into an adventure playground facility with a range of play equipment and the creation of an innovative and imaginative multi-sensory path within the playground of our younger children which is adjacent to the Strategic Facility for children with autism.

In the current changing economic climate it is important for organisations in the third sector, social enterprise and the creative industries to be equipped with the knowledge needed to ensure they are able to keep up with fast moving digital development, whether using new technology to support promotion, income generation, protect intellectual property rights or to offer something new and innovative to clients.
We know it’s difficult for businesses faced with the constant development of digital technologies and the decrease in cultural grant and government funding to prioritise direction and stay ahead of the game. So, Bolton Council Arts Development service are holding a series of enabling events designed to equip artists, the third sector and creative industries with the knowledge to help inform decision-making and development in the future.
