National programmes

Legacy Trust UK is supporting four major national programmes to engage young people and communities to leave a lasting legacy from the 2012 Games.

UK School Games 2008-11: the Trust has granted £6 million to these annual multi-sport events for the UK's elite young athletes of school age, run by the Youth Sport Trust.

somewhereto will help young people find ways to access the spaces they need – whether it's to do sport, dance or music, making art or showing their films. somewhereto is project managed by youth communications agency Livity with support from media partner Channel 4 Education and is part of the Cultural Olympiad. The Trust has committed £5 million in funding to the programme.

The Tate Movie project will engage primary school aged children in the first animation film of its kind, creating a film made by and for children across the UK. The Trust has committed £3 million to this exciting project, which will be led by Tate, in collaboration with award-winning animation company Aardman and creative agency Fallon.

Community Celebrations will allow communities to bid for funding to host a spectacular outdoor event in their area, celebrating a moment of real local significance. Legacy Trust UK has committed £4 million to the project, which will fund a range of projects from across the UK.
