Announcing the London Marathon Foundation
The London Marathon Charitable Trust has been renamed the London Marathon Foundation as part of an exciting rebrand of the charity.
www.tcslondonmarathon.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent publicly available information:
- The London Marathon Foundation, formerly known as the London Marathon Charitable Trust, rebranded to reflect its broader mission to inspire activity and broaden access to funding for sport and physical activity in the UK. The name change was announced around 2023 as part of a modernisation effort to align with the charity’s current scope and ambitions.[1][6]
- In more recent activity, the Foundation has continued to fund community sport initiatives, including grants connected to the London Marathon route and wider Active Spaces programs, with reported grants such as £200,000 in additional funding for route-adjacent organisations in 2025. There are also ongoing partnerships and grant rounds aimed at expanding opportunities for underrepresented groups to engage in activity.[4][7][8]
- The Foundation has publicly emphasized its mission to Inspire Activity and to support a diverse range of communities across the UK, aiming to connect new groups with funding and to help people lead active lives.[6][8][1]
If you’d like, I can pull the most current press releases or grant round announcements and summarize any specific grants, regions, or programs you care about. I can also set up a quick alert for new Foundation news. Would you like me to do that?
