Non-profit Organizations
London 2012 legacy charity, founded by the National Lottery Community Fund in 2013 with a £47m endowment.
About us
Spirit of 2012 is an independent trust established with a £47m endowment from the Big Lottery Fund. Spirit invests in happiness. Our vision is that all people are equally empowered to get out, be involved and feel better. We're working to recreate the spirit that radiated from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games by investing in events as catalysts for change for people and communities across the UK. We promote wellbeing and social cohesion and challenge limiting perceptions of disability. We do this by supporting organisations that provide opportunities in sports & physical activity, arts & culture and volunteering & social action.
