COMMUNITY GAMES –
MAINTAINING THE LEGACY

Tasked to raise awareness of Community Games one year after the Olympic and Paralympic Games, we also wanted to celebrate the outstanding role played by volunteers across the country and thank those who had already helped to create a ‘legacy’ by hosting Community Games events.

The Olympic and Paralympic torch relay was ‘virtually retraced’ as each County Sports Network and YMCA on the route hosted a one day Community Games event over a 70-day campaign. The key role played by volunteers was also recognised when 70 were selected as Community Games ‘Shining Lights’.

A celebratory event at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on day 70 of the relay not only coincided with the one-year anniversary of the Games, but gave the volunteers the chance to be thanked in person by Lord Coe himself.
