London Projects

ITV London transmits to people living throughout Greater London and its borders.

Over the past five years of the People’s Millions competition we have seen some great projects in the region. Previous winners include a specialised playground, a sailing project, creation of new children’s play areas and many more.

Woodland Oasis - in an Urban Jungle

The project includes the creation of an attractive and multi-sensory woodland area in Gordon Primary School's playground. By careful fencing around the woodland and the installation of gates, the woodland will be accessible to children during school hours and to the community outside of schools hours by unlocking a community gate. There will be approximately 600 beneficiaries.

Learn to Play Steelpan

The project will deliver steel band sessions for 38 weeks, including classes for young people aged 16-24, targeted at those experiencing anti-social behaviour problems. Sessions will also be held for people with disabilities. Beneficiaries will have the opportunity to perform at various events and competitions involving the wider community. There will be 100 beneficiaries.

Family Action Gardening Project

The project will improve the internal and external areas at the Slough branch of Family Action. The project will involve transforming an unused and un-landscaped playing field by planting trees and shrubs to create a wildlife area and development of allotments to instigate a cross generational gardening project. Access will also be created to the garden for the crèche facility and an existing play area will be redeveloped. The project will benefit 14,500 people.

Rush Green Regeneration Project

The project will transform five acres of disused land into a nature reserve, seating area and allotments that can be used by both disabled and able bodied residents. Members of the community will help to carry out the work and will have input into the design of the site. The project will benefit 1,000 people.

Surrey Docks Mobile Farm

The project will deliver a mobile outreach farm service to bring animals, farming activities and instruction to local schools and festivals in the London area. Events will involve farm skill illustrations and will address issues relating to healthy eating and farming in a local and global context. There will be 2,400 beneficiaries.
