Who we are

We believe that participating in sport and physical activity has the power to change lives.

The London Marathon Foundation is one of the UK’s major funders of projects and initiatives that inspire children and adults across the UK to lead active and healthy lives.

Beyond our funding, we want to be a leading voice in championing accessible, inclusive and sustainable sport and physical activity, so that everyone – regardless of age, ability or background – can lead an active life.

Looking for funding?

Our Active Spaces fund supports projects in London that improve spaces and facilities to help the least active and underserved groups and communities.
