STV (Central) Projects

STV Central region goes from Perth, through Edinburgh, down to Biggar on the east and from Fort William on the west coast, through Glasgow and down to South Ayrshire.

Over the past five years of the People’s Millions competition we have seen some great projects in the region. Previous winners have included projects to transform a special school playground, create an all-weather games facility, materials for a Heritage site and many more.

Bikeworks

This project aims to reclaim and recondition bikes destined for landfill sites reducing the damage to the environment and encouraging people to exercise and enjoy the outdoors through access to low cost cycles.

Jump To It

This project seeks to improve access to quality athletic facilities for young people in the local area of Dumbarton. It particularly aims to enable them to develop skills in field events. A run-down facility will be upgraded and new equipment installed, which will be used by development staff from the local authority in taster sessions and coaching with young people, leading to better use of exisiting facilities; new opportunities to try new activities; and an increase in uptake of healthy outdoor activites in this area of need.

Pitheid Patter

This project seeks to provide interpretative materials and recruit and train volunteer heritage guides at the site of the Barony 'A' Frame. The 'A' frame was retained and listed after the Barony pit closed in 1989. The pit was in operation for 82 years. T

Healthy Communities Initiative

This project will create a multi-use games area in the Glendoune area of Girvan. The facility will be available for use by people of all ages and abilities and will contribute to improving the overall health and fitness of local people. It will increase the opportunities for young people to participate in sports and recreation and create a stronger and safer community by bringing people together, building intergenerational relationships and fostering community spirit.

Seafield School - Sport for All

This project will develop an outdoor sports facility at Seafield School which supports many of Scotland's most vulnerable and challenging children. The school has no proper outdoor sports facilities. The facility will be made available to local mainstream schools and will encourage the establishment of a football league involving the young people at Seafield and local schools.
