The programme is accredited by the University of Lincoln and has a total of 120 learning hours, this is delivered through voluntary hrs, and also monthly key focus meetings.

The TEN Project explores the cultural diversity of the Abbey Ward area of Lincoln. There are over ten nationalities represented in the community and these are being explored by a series of music workshops and cross art projects.

The project began in September 2008 and continued until September 2009. The project was a new and innovative piece of work for ARTSCOPE as it celebrated culture in very specific planned workshops that explored the culture of different nationalities in the community.

Sports Force is a volunteering initiative that will increase the number of quality sports participation opportunities within Lincolnshire.

Led by East Lindsey District Council and the Lincolnshire Sports Partnership, the initiative represents a coordinated approach to the recruiting, retaining and rewarding of existing and new volunteers within Lincolnshire.

Sports Force aims to maximise the build up and legacy of London 2012 to increase and develop the volunteer workforce in Lincolnshire, and ensure that more opportunities are delivered at every level from grassroots through to excellence.

Working with the rich landscape, arhitecture and heritage of this typical British seaside resort, So 2010 built on Skegness' traditions to present a festival of transformative events that delighted the public with magical and unforgettable experiences.

The SO Festival 2010 provided four fantastic events of exhilirating events! From Thursday 22nd to Sunday 25th July Skegness was transformed into a colourful carnival of dance, street theatre, music, comedy and more!

The “Sports Zone” has been created to continue the legacy of the inspirational 2012 Road show that visited the Lincolnshire Show in 2007. The aim of the Sports Zone is to use the energy of 2012 to increase participation in grass roots sports and showcase the opportunities that are available within local communities for participants, coaches and volunteers.

The Sports Zone provided visitors to the annual Lincolnshire Show 23rd-24th June 2010 with a variety of 'come and try' it activities. These activities included; rowing, cycling, wheelchair basketball, new age kurling, boccia, cricket, table-tennis, volleyball and powerchair football.

A business event that aims to bring the leisure and tourism industries together to work towards making the most of the 2012 games and create a strong legacy for both sectors.

Delegates on the day were local tourism and leisure organisations, who will work together to make the most of games time opportunities, improve the quality of their welcome and the marketing of their businesses.

Lindum to Lords became the the first cricket project to receive the London 2012 Inspire Mark.

Lindum to Lords is a brand new development programme that will work with local primary and secondary schools to provide targeted coaching and support that will nurture the next generation of young talent. In addition to the practical sessions, general training will also take place around SAQ, fielding, tactics, sports physchology and nutrition.

This project will be delivered by an interactive 2012 Legacy Log, this log will be based on the Olympic and Paralympic values, and is individual to each child.

C&YP will be involved in creating examples of Values related activities that can be included in their Legacy Logs these include :

Determination : The 2012 Team Marathon. This involves every child in Key Stage 1 walking together every lunch-time around their playground over 1 month with their teachers and midday supervisors. Children count their ‘laps’ which all contribute to the team total until the Marathon distance is achieved.

Friendship : Volunteer to help your teacher or coach for 20 minutes and 12 seconds at a lunch-time or after school sports club.

This project uses the inspiration of 2012 to break down the barriers to participation, and in so doing give more people at a grassroots level the opportunity to get active.

Lincolnshire Sport partnership has joined forces with South Holland District Council to open the doors to community halls which will fill a gap in provision and support a range of sporting activities to isolated communities and rural hamlets.

Strive to succeed 6C is a climbing inspired project designed to attract new participants to take part in what is a new physical activity for the County.

The challenge involves four graded routes to climb, with 6C being the ultimate route to overcome in the centre before taking on more extreme levels of climbing. Young people can come along and test themselves on the different routes, with instruction by qualified coaches.

The project will educate young people that participating in physical activity isn’t just about exercise but it can also benefit them socially and break down barriers such as fear of heights, lack of confidence or even the feeling of failure.  Through introducing Climbing the project wants to show that physical activity can be fun and enjoyable but also challenge us in many more ways.

First Light On Tour will see new sculpture installations which channel natural light and tour venues and festivals across Lincolnshire, connecting communities from north to south.

The vertical emphasis of the installations expresses human aspiration in all fields which will be shared through a series of creative workshops involving young people. They will explore the benefits of light as a modern art medium that can give transforming experiences of uplift, confidence and wellbeing.

The biggest percussion instrument in the county, an eye-catching musical Junk Sculpture will be central to music and dance celebrations in Lincolnshire.

Over the summer soundSPORT will offer lively impromptu workshops with an international flavour for audiences at major sporting events for young people.

A partnership between soundLINCS – Lincolnshire’s music development agency and Lincolnshire Sports Partnership.

The Labours: An Astronomical Dance takes inspiration from Greek mythology, the night sky and local histories. Through performance, text and digital media US based artists, Mark Jeffery and Judd Morrissey, will explore the past labours and future ambitions of the people of Lincolnshire.

The work will culminate in a live choreographic event to coincide with summer solstice creating a human celestial map across the city of Lincoln.
