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.”

The deadline for applications is 16 May 2014 (12 noon).
