Millennium Commission

The Millennium Commission was a UK organization established in 1994 to allocate funds from the National Lottery for projects celebrating the year 2000. Its goal was to support arts, heritage, and community initiatives that would leave a lasting legacy. The commission oversaw various grants and programs to promote cultural activities, public art, and community development, ensuring the millennium era was marked by meaningful and inclusive projects across the UK. It operated until 2006, distributing millions of pounds to enhance the nation's cultural landscape.
