The Worcestershire and Herefordshire Olympic
Ambassador scheme is called the Raising Our Game Olympic Ambassador
Group (ROGOAG). The principle of ROGOAG is to tie in all Olympic
themed work; inspire and inform local people (especially young
people); for ROGOAG to represent the Raising Our Game logo; and to
raise the profile of 2012 related activities in Worcestershire and
Herefordshire

Introduction
- Worcestershire and Herefordshire Olympic Ambassadors are vital
to ensure the County maximises the benefits from the 2012 Games.
Ambassadors can connect with key target markets in a way that is
inspirational and meaningful and can play a vital role in building
on the buzz created by the UK’s successful 2012 bid and by the
success of Team GB in Beijing.
- There are three levels in which ambassadors can operate:
- High profile figures (e.g. former and current Olympians and
International athletes) attending events and festivals
- Influential figures that can visit and talk with schools,
clubs, businesses and voluntary organisations
- Young ambassadors that are able to connect with young
people

- Appearances at events, festivals, and activities related to the
Cultural Olympiad and the regional and sub-regional delivery
plans

take part in question and answer sessions
