Robertson outlines London 2012 legacy

By Pete Hayman    06 Mar 2012

Sport and Olympics minister Hugh Robertson has announced how the 2012 Games will provide a catalyst for a sporting "revolution" across all levels of UK sport over the next decade.

Speaking at the official launch of the Europa Centre in Bexley, London, Robertson outlined 10 components that will comprise a lasting sports legacy from this summer's event.

Robertson said elite and community sports will benefit from an increased share of Lottery revenue, while new "world-class facilities" will also be available to athletes and users at all levels.

Meanwhile, Sport England's £135m Places People Play programme will provide new-look facilities and participation opportunities, along with London's Sport Legacy fund.

Sport England is leading the Inspire programme to encourage projects ahead of the Games, with the £1bn Youth and Community Strategy set to inspire a new generation through sport.

Other components include the Sainsbury's School Games competition; London 2012's Get Set scheme; and International Inspiration, which will reach millions of children worldwide.

In addition, Olympic fans will be encouraged to participate in sports at community level, while the UK is to host a series of flagship international events in the coming years – such as the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

Robertson said: "Sport in this country will benefit greatly from hosting London 2012 at all levels - from elite athletes to the grassroots.

"We are doing all we can to put the building blocks in place so that sport is ready to capitalise in the days, months and years that follow London 2012."
