Through the Big Decision, the public told us where they felt £10 million of Lottery funding should go. We took this feedback and combined it with the results of an Ipsos MORI poll, conducted with 2,000 people from across the UK, to help decide the five distinct project types that Millennium Now would fund. Applications had to fit one of the Millennium Now project types and meet all three of the following outcomes: Creating stronger connections between people and communities Developing creative projects that have UK-wide relevance Communities are involved in designing and delivering projects. In March 2012 five charities received development funding of up to £25,000 for their project idea. A major new Channel 4 series will now follow celebrities Gok Wan, Katie Piper, Jimmy Doherty, Dave Fishwick and George Clarke working with the charities as they develop and test run their projects and try to secure up to £2m of Lottery funding.
