The winners of the The Jubilee People’s Millions have been announced. Chosen by the public in a televised competition, the 60 winning community projects have been awarded up to £60,000 each to help fund their work. Find out if your favourite project was one of the winners.

The 60 winners of the Jubilee People’s Millions will get up to 60,000 each to help pay for a community project that will open during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee year, 2012.
