The purpose was to bring together the brand identities of Thg Trust and London Marathon Events, creating more awareness of the relationship between the two organisations for both internal and external audiences. In December 2022, the Trustees approved a new working name of the London Marathon Foundation as part of the rebrondir)g planned for 2023, which was designed to extend The Trust's funding reach and impact. Included within this rebrand will be the launch of a new London Marathon Foundation website. Following a comprehensive benchmarking of roles at the start of 2021 The Trust's staff team was restructured to reflect its new funding plan and thematic approach and its Strategies and Actions. This saw the creotion of a new Heod ol Funding role to lead the Funding Team, consisting of a Strategy and Impact Manager, two Funding Managers (managing the Children and Your)g People and Porticipation portfolio respectively), a Data and Insights Officer ond a Funding Team Administrator. The Trust also created the role of Communications and Engagement Manager and enhanced the capacity of the governance team by creating a Governance Officer role. The stalf were involved throughout the year in the creation of new Group values. To drive positive changg in environm9ntal sustainability through The Trust's actions and inspire partners and stakeholders to do the same. To embed sustainability considerations across all funding activity and partnerships. Achievements: All applicants, grantees and strategic partners ore routinely osked about what oction they are taking to embed social, economic and environmental sustainability across their work. The Trust has developed a set of outcome measures which will be used to monitor, evaluate and assess how all funded orgonisotions, projects and partnerships are delivering social, ecor)omic and environmental sustainability. The Trust has completed all preparatory work and planning to become a signatory to the Funder Commitment on Climate Change in early 2023. This will see The Trust ploy its port as a funder in tackling the causes and impacts of the climate crisis through committing to six vital actions.. to educate and learn,. commit resources,. integrate,. steward our investments to a post-carbon future- decarbonise its operations,. and report on its progress. The Trust has completed all preparatory work ond planning to become an accredited Living Wage Employer and Funder in early 2023. MONITORING THE TRUST'S IMPACT All grantees are asked to show clearly how their projects will olign with The Trust's objective of inspiring activity. This is monitored through regular reporting, enabling the Trustees and stafl to retain uppropriote oversight. Brand.

As part ol this work, in 2022 The Trust developed a new Outcomes Framework which will guide the strategic direction of its grantmaking and partnerships over the next few years. At the end of the project, the grantee provides information on how well the planned outcomes were met. as well as any evidence of the total impoct of the gront to date. This is then reviewed by Trustees and staff. This will include the establishment of indicators that can be used to understand outcomes, outputs and the impact of The Trust's funding, os well as methods for collecting and analysing data. The initial outcomes may not have been met, but the work moy still have generated impact in other ways. The Trustees note that there are several challenges thot arise from focusing on outcomes.. By undertaking this work, The Trust will be able to embed simple, consistent and effective monitoring and evaluation throughout the lifecycle of its funding and grants and create o better understanding of the impact of the work it funds. As many of The Trust's grants ore for capital costs, and The Trust is likely to be one of many funders, grantees need to be encouraged to list and report against outcomes that can be more directly ottributoble to The Trust's grant. In some cases, with larg8 multifaceted projects, this can be challenging. If an organisation is learning from its worl it is likely that its outcomes will change over the course of a grant. Setting outcomes is a delicate balance that is hard to get right. While staff work with granteos to establish outcomes, sometimes the ones set are too simple or too ambitious. Transparency and accesslblllty The Trust seeks continually to improve its transparency and accessibility. With the reopening of grant programmes in 2022, staff obtained and reviewed feedback on the onlir)e application process, aiming to make the process more user-friendly, and reducing the amount of time organisations spend applying for funding by only asking for required information. The 2022 Foundation Proctice Roting assessed foundation practice in relation to transparency based on the tollowing question.. does a potential grantee hove occess to the information thot it needs to be able to contact the foundation and decide whether to apply for funding in advance of any grant applicotion. Organisotions were given a score of A B, C or D for their transparency (with A being highest). The Trust scored A for tronsparency (the average was B), demonstrating the Trustees, and staff's commitment. The Trust is committed to continual improvement and seeks to learn lessons from the information it receives from opplicants, grontees, strotegic partners, other stakgholders, and the wider sector. The Trustees and staff wish to demonstrate and maximise the impact of grants and, in order to achieve this. The Trust will be rolling out a new monitoring, evoluotion and learning framework in 2023. -20- DoGuSvJn Envelope ID". 5F957BAC-95D9483B.904>5B39333154FO THE LONDON MARATHON CHARITABLE TRUST REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 Governance and Management of The London Marathon Charitable Trust Members Board ol Trustees The Board composition in 2022 comprised up to15 Trustees- eight Nominated Trustees nominated by its Member Organisations, six independent Trustees, and the Chair of the LME Board.

Statgmgnt of funds Icontinugdl The Trustees have designated all funds re￿iVed from the trading subsidiary, but not yel awarded as grants, lo fund future grantmaking activity. Facilities Grants Before the pause in granlmaking, applications lo The Trust's Facilities Grant programmes could be submitted al any time during the period and the Trustees mel quarterfy lo make funding decisions. Facilities Grants could be either Small Grants or Major Grants., the differen￿ is explained below.. Small Grants The Small Grants programme provided awards of between £5,000 and £50,000 to small projects within The Trust's core areas. These projects aim lo help improve existing amenities or to build new facilities that will enable organisations lo encourage and support more people to become involved in physical activity, sport andl or play, particularly those who are currently physically inactive. Major Grants The Major Grants programme provided funds of more than £50,001 for the renovation, modernisalion or creation of significant facilities for organisalions in The Trust's core areas. These organisations needed lo demonslrale a dear commitment lo encouraging and supporting people who are not physically active lo participate in physical activity, sport andl or play. Applicants were able to apply for funding of up to £250,000. The Trustees have the discretion to award grants of more than £250,000 towards major projects where a particularly strong case is made to demonstrate the impact on The Trust's priority outcomes. Strategic Partnership Grants In 2017-18, The Trust established a Strategic Partnership Grants programme that provided funding lo projects across the UK that address barriers lo participation in physical activity and inspire people from all communities to take part. Following changes lo The Trust's objects, introduced in January 2018, The Trust was able to provide capital and revenue support across the UK. The Trustees decided to introduce a proactive grantmaking programme delivered in partnership with others. New Programme Funds The Trust has established this programme to inspire activity in two main ways. The Active Communities Fund provides smaller grants aimed at inspiring artivity within local communities. The fund supports grassroots organisalions with strong relationships and standing within target communities lo inspire activity amongst those most exclLJded from leading active lives. The Active Spaces Fund is the evolution of The Trust's Facilities Grant programme and is designed lo provide both capital and revenue grants lo London-based projects that will improve and aclivale spaces, places and facilities that will help the least active Children, young people, marginalised groups and communities to lead active lives. Strategic National Funds This fund rep￿Sents the Trusts investment in London's biggest ever community sports fund lo improve the lives of underserved and vulnerable young Londoners especially those facing physical, social, ewnomic or educational challenges - lo access and enjoy sport and physical aclivily.
