About Legacy Trust UK

Legacy Trust UK will help communities across the country build a lasting legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Our funding will act as a catalyst to link grassroots activities across the UK into the Olympic programme, so that people from all walks of life – not just athletes and sports fans – can be a part of this once in a lifetime event.

Our projects are very wide-ranging, but all share three key aims:

• to unite culture, sport and education, in line with the values and vision of the Olympics
• to make a lasting difference to all those involved
• to be grassroots projects, often small in scale, and unite communities of interest at local and regional level

Legacy Trust UK has allocated £40 million funding through twelve regional and four national programmes. Our funding is provided by the Big Lottery Fund (£29 million), Department for Culture Media and Sport (£6 million for UK School Games) and Arts Council England (£5 million).
