I WOULD like to say how delighted I have been to receive so much interest in the Reading Families Millennium Award Scheme.

We hope that many more of your readers will contact us to apply for a Millennium Award of up to £3,000 that will support their ideas for getting local families reading together.

The Reading Families Award Scheme is funded by a Millennium Commission grant of £1.2m. Millennium Awards is a unique programme of small grants that enable individual people across the UK to put their ideas into action.

Just call Helen Russell at the Campaign for Learning on 020 7976 2011 for an application pack. Forms need to be in by November 12.

BILL LUCAS,

Chief Executive

Millennium Awards Scheme.
