Current priorities

The London Marathon Foundation aims to reflect the spirit of the TCS London Marathon in its grant-making. It is currently aiming to Inspire Activity by supporting existing grantees to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic and funding groups in areas across London that are known to have lower levels of physical activity.

The London Marathon Foundation is working to remove barriers to participation to provide more opportunities for its target groups, including children and young people, women and girls, ethnically diverse communities and people with disabilities, to become more active.

The Trust is a registered charity (number 283813) and registered company (number 1550741). To find out more about the London Marathon Foundation, click here and follow @LMFoundation_ on Twitter.
