subtitle:Investing in happiness
Spirit of 2012 was set up to recreate the spirit of pride and positivity that defined the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. We fund arts and sports projects that foster greater community cohesion, empower those who are most under-served and challenge perceptions of disability.
We're thrilled to be part of this year's Great Get Together – giving two awards to help the Jo Cox Foundation deliver an event that unites, inspires... and spreads happiness. This is the Great Get Together's third year – a weekend that unites communities in a moment of shared remembrance and celebration of Jo Cox's values.
Spirit of 2012 is inviting applications to its Carers’ Music Fund, for projects that will increase access to music-making for women and girls with caring responsibilities. Spirit was awarded £1.5million from the DCMS Tampon Tax Fund earlier this year, which it has matched with £400,000 of its own, making a total of £1.9million for its Carers’ Music Fund.
