Opportunities

• Legacy Trust Fund: Dance Programme and Community Games Toolkit
• The 'Raising Our Game' Olympic Ambassador Programme
• The 2012 Get Set Education Programme  
• Use the inspiration of the Olympic brand (ie the potential to access new markets and re-brand messages to existing markets) as a vehicle to achieve existing objectives e.g. 5 hour offer (5 – 16 year olds)/ 3 hour offer (16 – 19); getting 2m more people in England more active by 2012. Initiatives and events can be linked to the Olympic values through:
  • Access to non-commercial Olympic brand (the Inspire Mark)
  • Use of the Raising Our Game Olympic brand logo (LOCOG endorsed)
• Support for existing or new events via the Raising Our Game brand: For example: High 5 events; School Sports Competition Leagues.
• Support via direct work with delivery partners using the inspiration of the 2012 Games as a stimulus for creative thinking and develop innovative projects/activities (where appropriate - writing funding bids)
