Future engagement and structure

United By 2022 Legacy Charity* has been established as the legacy charity for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Grounded in the spirit of the Games and inspired by the life-changing work going on across the Games’ legacy workstreams and the United By Birmingham 2022 community programme, the charity has been founded as legacy vehicle for the Games. The intention is to build a community fund in the lead up to and during the Games with applications for community fund grants opening after the Games in the autumn of 2022.

In 2022, the Games for Everyone will provide an opportunity to show off a rich array of brilliance, helping local people, communities and businesses to flourish, grow and succeed. But if we want to make the moment last and carry forward the Games and sustain some of the most impactful work we’ve started here, we will need a legacy vehicle to maintain and extend that work.

The Community Fund will help us to keep making that tangible difference at the heart of the diverse communities of Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.

The United by 2022 Legacy Charity will support projects that:

• Are community led, enabling our communities to put their ideas into action and work to solve the challenges on their doorstep
• Promote fairness and social inclusion, keeping the Games for Everyone vision alive
• Ensure our venues and other games assets are turned into well used and well-loved community spaces after the Games.
