London Summer of Sport Overview

London Summer of Sport is about getting Londoners of all ages and abilities participating in sporting

activities across the capital with free participation opportunities in the run up to the Olympic and

Paralympic Games in 2012 and beyond.

London Summer of Sport is a Mayoral initiative led by the London Development Agency (LDA) in

partnership with the Greater London Authority (GLA), Sport England, London Councils, PRO-ACTIVE

Partnerships, London Sports Forum for Disabled People, Youth Sport Trust, London Organising

Committee for the Olympic Games and other key agencies who will be working together to ensure the

programme is a success with the key objectives being met.

This is the third year of the programme. In previous years, London Summer of Sport has financially

assisted over 500 sport and physical activity events/projects through direct funding or branding support,

giving over 100,000 people in London an opportunity to participate in a sport or activity.

London Summer of Sport is keen to support sport and physical activity events/projects which provide

coaching opportunities and the ability to participate/learn more about an activity. The ability of a

participant to become enthused and interested in a sport and continue in that activity following the end

of a London Summer of Sport event/activity is a key aim of the programme.

London Summer of Sport will host activities primarily between 1st July and 30th September 2008.
