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.

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 is made up of four projects based in Scotland, Northern Ireland, East Midlands and South East England which will create high profile outdoor events and celebrations for local people. Legacy Trust UK has committed £3 million to the project.
