The London Marathon Charitable Trust will donate more than £3.5 million to 91 projects in and around the capital, with a further £900,000 going to community legacy facilities after London 2012 during 2013, it revealed today.
This year’s work brings the overall sum of grants made by the trust to date to nearly £50 million, helping more than 1,000 projects to build, preserve, refurbish or purchase sports and recreation facilities since the charity was set up in 1981.
Grants of between £7,000 and £250,000 have been awarded this year – the largest is being used to bring disused cricket facilities back into action and the smallest for fitness equipment for a gymnastics club – to help fund a wide variety of sports and recreation projects, including community groups, royal parks, local authorities, grassroots sports clubs, schools and local charities.
