The Legacy Trust UK was established to support a wide range of innovative cultural and sporting activities for all, which celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and which will leave a lasting legacy of them in communities throughout the United Kingdom.
In 2007 the Legacy Trust asked the regional cultural consortiums to set up regional advisory groups and to develop regional bids for Legacy monies. This strategy, to allocate funding through the Regional Cultural Consortia in England and Government, Arts and Sports organisations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, was adopted to ensure that there is UK-wide funding and activity in support of London 2012. The criteria for funding was roughly allocated with the following split – Culture 70% and Sport 30%.
Each nation and region has chosen a theme under which to develop a programme of activities that will leave a legacy of the 2012 Games in communities throughout the UK. In August 2008, The Trust announced that it has granted £13.4 million to nations and regions across the UK. The projects - which range from a Great Exhibition to Big Dance, and from alternative sports to a community archive - have been selected and will be managed by partnerships of arts and sports organisations across the English regions and in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
