Series details: CRDA/65

The Awards Scheme database (also known as the Awards Management Information System or AMIS) provides details of all the projects supported through the Millennium Awards Scheme from 1996 until 2004. This programme, as administered by the Millennium Commission, was the first of its kind to allow individual people to benefit directly from a National Lottery grant. Millennium awards were granted to individual people for projects that were of recognised benefit to themselves and their community. Since its launch in 1996, nearly 32,000 people from all over the UK have received grants of around £2,000 for projects ranging from setting up youth groups on inner city estates, to leading neighbourhood clean-up projects and establishing schemes to tackle racism. The system holds data on the following: Award Partner organisations; Award schemes; Award scheme finances; Award winners; Award winner projects.
