**Who are we?**

The London Marathon Foundation (part of the London Marathon Group) is one of the UKs major funders of initiatives that support people especially children, young people and underserved communities to lead active and healthy lives.

Were the parent charity of London Marathon Events (LME), whose event portfolio includes the TCS London Marathon and Ford RideLondon-Essex. Every year, after costs, the surplus generated by LME is passed through corporate Gift Aid to the Foundation, and we use this income to fund projects that inspire, increase and champion participation and diversity in physical activity in London, Essex and across the UK.

Since our founding in 1981, weve awarded more than £105 million to more than 1,700 projects that inspire activity. Being active looks different for everyone, and we fund a wide range of inclusive sports and physical activities from boxing to wheelchair basketball, street dance to seated exercise classes and play to Pilates so that everyone, regardless of their age, ability or background, can lead an active and healthy life.

Our values are integral to who we are, how we work and what we do:

- ** Impact** together we create positive change
- ** Innovate** together we enable new ideas
- ** Everyone** together we champion inclusivity
- ** Customer first** together we go the extra mile for all

Diversity, inclusion and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do, and we want to ensure they are at the heart of our company. We strongly value diversity within our workforce and recognise that different people bring different perspectives, lived experience, ideas and culture to the company. This difference brings with it great strengths, including diversity of thought and innovation.

So, if youre ready to be a force for good, lead change and make a difference to society, keep reading.
