The Jubilee People’s Millions

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.
