The Millennium Commission is distributing 2 billion of Lottery funds to mark the millennium, with matching funds from other sources. The result is a 4 billion investment programme, improving the nation's social and cultural infrastructure and providing an extraordinary legacy for the UK in the next millennium. Funding the Dome is only a part of our work. We have nearly 200 projects on over 3,000 sites with grants totalling 1.26 billion which support environmental, science and community activities, new educational activities and major regeneration projects.
Schemes range from village halls to major new national assets.
We will support Festival events in 21 UK cities at New Year 2000, and large and small celebratory activities will be jointly funded throughout the year by the 11 UK Lottery distributors. You will receive an information pack and an application form. The UK leads the world in marking the millennium. The Commission's work will ensure that the celebrations in the year 2000 are only the beginning of a lasting legacy. Click here to find out more about the Millennium Festival Fund .
