Inspiration 2012
The 2012 programme aims to encourage
individuals who are currently inactive, unemployed or socially
excluded to gain new skills, engage in their communities, raise
their aspirations and move nearer to the job market.
The programme has three strands
Stand 1: Personal Best (Awarded the Inspire
Mark)
- The volunteering programme known as ‘Personal
Best’ (the Pre-Volunteer Programme) provides an accredited level 1
Events Volunteering Training Programme. The successful
completion of this programme will enable the individual to be added
to the volunteer database for the London 2012 Olympics and
Paralympics Games

Apprenticeship as applicable.

Strand 3: Healthy Lifestyle
- The term physical activity is often used as a
‘catch all’ term for any body movement not defined by Sport and
Fitness. It is now generally used to identify non-sport /
fitness based modes of activity. This would include forms of
walking, cycling (led by walking/cycling leaders) as well as other
activities that are often not related to health maintenance or
improvement e.g. ‘Extend’, Green Gym and Tai Chi which often
support physical mental and social health.
- This programme would look to tackle social
exclusion through encouragement of a healthy lifestyle within the
community, by offering a package of short courses relating to
exercise, movement and nutrition.
