Department for Culture Media and Sport
Inspiring change
The Government is responsible for ensuring that the benefits of the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games provide long-lasting value to East London and the rest of the UK.
Working with our London 2012 partners, we are harnessing the power of the Games to inspire change in people’s lives - in sport participation, in our communities and in attitudes towards disability.
We will make the Olympic Park a blueprint for sustainable living, as well as demonstrating that the UK is a creative, inclusive and welcoming place to live, visit and do business.
The Government has already announced the Free Swimming Programme and other major funding programmes to help us achieve our goal of getting at least two million people to be more active by 2012.
