The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games aren't just about four weeks of sport in London; they offer a fantastic opportunity for you to bring your community together. By taking part in sporting and cultural activities inspired by the Games, we can all celebrate London 2012!

The aim of Community Games is to bring as many people as possible together from towns, cities and villages right across the two counties. The initiative encourages those taking part to organise their Games in a way that works for them; some may focus chose to give the event a competitive edge, whereas others may prefer to give people the opportunity to try something new. Whatever the focus, it provides a unique opportunity for everyone to get involved.

As an influential member of your community we are seeking your involvement and would like to offer you:

*Inspiration and guidance on how you can organise such an event

*Information on funding, grants, resources, volunteering and collaboration with other key national and local events

Speakers and features include:

* David Moorcroft OBE, former Olympic Athlete and former 5000m world record holder

* Christina Boxer, Triple Olympian and Raising our Game Lead Ambassador

* Young sports volunteers being trained in a variety of multi skills and sports hall athletics

* Raising Our Game Inspired? Toolkit and Small Grant Scheme
