Granada Projects

Granada transmits to Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire, South Cumbria and the Isle of Man.

Over the past five years of the People’s Millions competition we have seen some great projects in the region. Previous winners include a community cinema, a special school, play areas and many more.

Community Garden

The project is to create a green garden for all the community by landscaping an overgrown area of allotment.

Springhill Hospice Young Volunteers Project

This project will improve the garden area in front of the hospice as it is currently overgrown and unsightly. The overgrown bushes cause problems with security as they form a screen in front of the car park for staff and visitors. The project will be completed with the assistance of local disadvantaged children, who will volunteer through Skill Force, a local organisation. Improving the space will make the hospice safer and more welcoming. It will provide a peaceful resting place for patients, visitors and the local community.

The Regeneration of Woodlands Park

The project is to create a multi-sports facility to provide a range of healthy activities for young people aged 5 to 25 years. It will also provide facilities for disabled young people from the local college. The project will form a safe place for young people to congregate and take part in sporting activities.

JJ's Play Centre

This project will create a sensory play centre with soft play areas, interaction facilities, toys and games for children and young people with additional needs and their families.
