Stock code In 2005 the Big Lottery Fund teamed up with ITV to launch The People’s Millions, allowing ITV viewers across the UK to vote for projects in their community to win cash from the National Lottery. Since then a total of 229 awards and £13.6 million has been given out to projects around the UK, including skate parks, sensory play areas, woodlands regeneration and even sound sculptures. Every year we have many entries to this exciting programme. Most of them are from groups that have not applied to us before. This year, 90 awards of £50,000 will be available across the country.
