14. Consolidation: Review and Debrief So how much does it all cost? The cost of the Olympics has risen since the UK was first awarded the games in 2005. The original estimate was £2.4bn to build the Olympic park and stadium. Construction is now budgeted at £5.3bn, there is a £2.7bn "contingency fund" (money available if it is needed)

15. Consolidation: Review and Debrief Where does this money come from? According to games organisers, the funding for the Olympics comes from three sources: 36% from Central Government 23% from National Lottery good causes fund 13% from the Mayor of London and London development agency

16. Consolidation: Review and Debrief How does this effect young people? Well the money comes from taxation and everybody pays tax. Plus the funding from the national lottery could be put towards other good causes, many of which are to benefit children. The move to raise money from the lottery has raised fears in the voluntary sector that charities could lose out as lottery money is diverted away from traditional good causes.
