London 2012’s ambition is to create Games for everyone, where everyone is invited to take part, join in and enjoy the most exciting event in the world.

London 2012 will create the most accessible and participative Games. It will touch people as it has never done before, stimulating people to do more and to try new things and reassess what we are all capable of.

London 2012 has sport at its heart and London at the centre, but it is more than London and more than sport. It is a Games for London, the UK and the rest of the world, for sport and culture, for volunteers and business.

Essex has been a strong supporter of the Games, and is working hard to ensure we gain the maximum benefits from the biggest event in the world!

Sportessex has signified its enthusiasm and commitment to the Games, by signing up as the lead body for increasing participation in sport and physical activity as a result of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
