In 2011 Anita was appointed by the LLDC and the Mayor of London as co-chair of the Legacy List, a charity which fosters and encourages creative connections between people and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to support the Legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games. In 2009 the Zabludowicz Collection Future Map Prize was launched for a graduating student from the University of the Arts London to support their ongoing artistic development.

From October 1994 to Present (21 years 3 months) Joint Chair of Trustees @ About the Legacy List:
We have a once in a generation opportunity to shape a new part of a world class city; building a community; delivering a dynamic urban culture and creating a future that will impact all of London and beyond.
The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games are the beginning of a new era for the East End. The Park offers a different kind of urban neighbourhood, borne out of an important history, built on investment and belief in future opportunity and to be sustained through a clear vision of its potential.
The Legacy List is the independent charity for Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, set up in 2011 to support the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Our mission is to make creative connections between people and the Park. We develop, commission and support high quality art, education and skill building initiatives to engage, educate and inspire current and future generations. Our founding partners were the London Legacy Development Corporation and the Mayor of London.
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is situated in what was once a centre of manufacturing and industry for London. It is rich in culture and diversity and an area that has witnessed the challenges of economic and social deprivation, whilst retaining pride in its heritage, entrepreneurialism, individuality and spark.
Our mission is to actively engage people in the transformation of the Park and of their own lives. We will do this by finding and funding an imaginative range of places, programmes and partnerships in the areas of arts, culture, education and skills which deliver our charitable objectives of:
-Promoting the Park and contributing to its unique identity
-Advancing arts and culture in and around the Park
-Enhancing education and skills in and around the Park
-Contributing to sustainable development in and around the Park
-Engaging local communities in and around the Park From January 2011 to Present (5 years) Trustee @ Camden Arts Centre is a place for world-class contemporary art exhibitions and education. With artists at the core of the programme, Camden Arts Centre strives to involve members of the public in the ideas and processes of today's artists, and the artists who inspire them.
