Legacy Trust Grant Scheme

12 December 2007

A new £40 million fund that will use the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to promote the arts and sport to young people and communities has been launched.

Legacy Trust UK will support cultural, artistic, educational and sporting activities all over the country.

Legacy Trust has been established to help to ensure a celebration of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games across the United Kingdom and to help create a lasting legacy.

The Trust plans to support a small number of national programmes, including the UK School Games, the Big Arts Week and the World Festival of Youth Culture. The remainder of the endowment will be distributed throughout the three nations (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and nine English regions.
