Background
Throughout all our thinking we are conscious that the core purpose of the Games is to bring the world together in sporting endeavour. We will use the power of the Games to inspire our most talented athletes to greater achievement whilst encouraging more people to take part in sport and active recreation.
The sport theme has been split into three sections. Community Sport is being developed by Sport England alongside the 5 County Sports Partnerships, Sporting Potential by the East Midlands National Governing bodies of Sport Forum and the Youth Sports Trust, and Elite Performance by the Performance Action Group supported by Loughborough University.
East Midlands Strategy
We have recently completed a consultation exercise to develop a region wide strategy for maximising the benefits of the Games. We have thoroughly reviewed the comprehensive feedback received and this forms the basis of the East Midlands Strategy for the 2012 Games.
