Become A Sports Maker

This Year Anyone Can Be A Sporting Hero

Whether it’s planning the route, finding the pitch or encouraging people to take part – sport doesn’t just happen, it needs people to make it happen. Become one of 40,000 Sport Makers aged 16+ and you’ll not only get the skills, knowledge and opportunities you need to get more people playing sport, you’ll become part of the official London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic sports legacy.

People all over the UK are now being encouraged to take steps towards becoming a Sports Maker.  This means partaking in ten or more hours of volunteering towards making sport happen.    Visit http://www.sportmakers.co.uk/ to find out more and to sign up as a Sports Maker in your local area.
