The London Marathon Charitable Trust (LMCT) is on a mission to Inspire Activity by funding projects that help people of all backgrounds and abilities to be physically active. Since its founding in 1981, LMCT has awarded more than £95 million to more than 1,500 projects that Inspire Activity across communities, helping millions of people to improve their wellbeing through physical activity.

The Trust 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 Trust 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.
