The People’s Millions 2014 Invite UK Entries

The competition opens today for entries from voluntary and community groups, local authorities, schools, statutory health bodies and branches of organisations or partnerships.

Running since 2005, the People’s Millions is an annual TV competition run by the Big Lottery Fund and ITV News which awards Lottery funding to community projects that improve the lives of local people.
Anything from youth and environmental projects to schemes that improve employment prospects or help people in need have a chance to win, provided that entrants can convince their community through a broadcast on ITV regional news in November that their idea is worthy of the prize.
In 2014, there are four awards of up to £50,000 on offer in each of the 19 ITV regional news areas across the UK. Applications can be made for any amount from £20,000 to £50,000 as long as it is at least half of the total cost of the proposed project which must cost between £20,000 and £100,000 including any VAT that cannot be recovered.
Peter Ainsworth, Chair of Big Lottery Fund said:
“The People’s Millions has had such a positive impact on the lives of so many people across the UK. This year we are looking for ideas and projects which are new, inspired and have the ability to make lives better. I urge anyone who has a great idea and wants to make a difference in their community to download a form today.”
Full details can be found on the People's Millions website
The deadline for applications is 16 May 2014 (12 noon).
