Wave Leisure has secured £50,000 of Olympic legacy funding from Sport England's Inspired Facilities Fund.

The Inspired Facilities fund is part of the £135 million Places People Play legacy programme that is bringing the magic of a home Olympic and Paralympic Games into communities across the country.

Every sports facility that receives funding will carry the London 2012 Inspire mark – celebrating the link to the Games.

The project will extend the small multi use studio at the Downs Leisure centre in Seaford, East Sussex meaning that more people will be able to play more sports at the enlarged facility.

Sport England's Chair, Richard Lewis, said: "This investment will create a fantastic sporting legacy for Seaford.

"This fund has really hit the mark with sports clubs in the South East. It shows we're offering the legacy that people want for their local community. For hundreds of clubs and tens of thousands of people, 2012 will be the year their local sports facilities got better."

Peter Crowley, Managing Director of Wave Leisure said: "We are delighted that this Inspired Facilities funding will enable us to extend the types of activities we offer local residents as well providing dedicated facilities that are suitable for all sectors of the community to use for their physical activity initiatives."

The project is one of 350 local community sports groups who have been offered a total of £17.4 million in Olympic legacy funding through the Inspired Facilities Fund.

The investments announced today will breathe new life into tired facilities that can be unattractive to sports participants, difficult to maintain and run. Grants have also been offered to convert existing buildings into venues that are suitable for grassroots sport and allow local clubs to buy the facilities they use.

Minister for Sport and the Olympics, Hugh Robertson MP, said: "We want to use the Olympics and Paralympics this summer to inspire a generation to get involved in sport across the country. This is why as a part of the £135 million Places People Play legacy programme we invited community sports clubs to apply for funding to upgrade their facilities."

Inspired Facilities has been designed to be as simple and accessible as possible for potential applicants, with a shorter form and a catalogue of ready-made options to choose from. This was the first of five funding rounds of Inspired Facilities.

Places People Play is being delivered by Sport England working in partnership with the British Olympic Association (BOA) and the British Paralympic Association (BPA) with the backing of The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOGOC) and the London 2012 Inspire mark.

LOCOG Chair, Seb Coe, said: "This is a fantastic funding project that will deliver a real legacy from the London 2012 Games. It will provide a whole range of sporting opportunities for young people through improved facilities and I hope will inspire them to take up sport."
