==================
Deadline nears for chance to make communities sparkle for Queen’s Jubilee

Groups across the UK have just four weeks left to enter a TV Lottery 
funding competition that could see them winning up to £60,000 to improve 
their communities in time for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee year, 2012.

The Jubilee People’s Millions is a Big Lottery Fund scheme run in 
partnership with ITV and with the approval of Buckingham Palace.

Sixty Lottery grants are up for grabs across the UK from a £3.6million 
funding pot, with four awards being made in each of the 15 ITV regions.

The competition is open to groups with ideas for community-based 
projects that improve places or the lives of local people.

This summer, a shortlist of projects will be showcased on ITV regional 
news and the public will vote to decide which projects receive the 
funding. The winning schemes will be up and running in time for the 
Queen’s Diamond Jubilee year, 2012.

The deadline for entries is 4 February 2011. Details of how to apply can 
be found on www.biglotteryfund.org.uk or by phoning 0845 10 20 30.
