Volunteering Wirral

Create Games Inspired Opportunities in your Organisation

The Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games comes to London in 2012 and is likely to inspire the nation in communities well beyond London. Volunteering England and Youthnet have launched a campaign to encourage Volunteer Involving Organisations to create "Games Inspired Volunteering Opportunities."

If you would like to "use the excitement and enthusiasm generated by the London 2012 games to engage with volunteers in your local area" then you can find advice, support, access to training workshops and information by clicking here.

Remember, it's not just sporting opportunities and sports organisations that can get involved. Every organisation is encouraged to be creative and to develop ideas that relate to the Olympics and Paralympics in cultural, international, heritage, sporting, environmental and any other ways that you can think of.
