Keeping the Spirit of 2012 Alive

The Keeping the Spirit of 2012 Alive Fund aims to develop and extend the positive impact of the events of the London 2012 Games for communities across the UK. Funding is available for projects that will achieve one or more of the following:
  • Harness the energy, commitment and organisation of the volunteering legacy of the 2012 Games for ongoing community benefit.
  • Build on the energy, creativity and positive spirit inspired by the London 2012 Games, which went beyond mere sport, to galvanise and inspire groups of people into social action of benefit to the wider community.
  • Use local and national events as a catalyst for the creation of partnerships which will develop community activities and wider social actions in order to encourage full and active participation from all community members.
  • Enhance the greater understanding of the issues facing disabled people, which came from the success of the London 2012 Paralympic Games, in order to achieve a step-change in positive attitudes to disability.
  • Inspire new and fresh ideas which look beyond the London 2012 Games but which will perpetuate its spirit.
  • Disseminate the learning gained from these priority areas for activity to help the organisation of future UK events.
Projects can deliver this through sport, culture and the arts, heritage, educational activities or a mixture of these.
Small grants from £200,000 to £500,000 and larger grants from £500,000 to £1.5 million are available to organisations in the UK.
The deadline for applications is 28 June 2013 (23:59).
