Dear all,

We are extremely sad to announce that as of the end of March the London Stadium Learning service will no longer be funded by the Local Authority so will need to close.

The centre space was given to the council to use as part of the 2012 Stadium Operator's Agreement and is a learning legacy from the Olympic Games. However, due to savings, budgets for all non-statutory enrichment provision have been cut.

We are still seeking funding from other sources and welcome your ideas and contacts that might lead us to it, but as it stands activities won't be delivered from 1st April 2026.

Your support for our provision has been incredible, and we hope that we get to work with you again in the future. Please keep in touch. It's been an absolute pleasure to be a part of your learning journeys.

Many thanks, Anna and the London Stadium Learning team.
