Olympic Resources

The greatest show on earth is coming to this country in 2012 and will probably never return to the UK this century. With the International Olympic Committee only granting the Olympics to capital cities, this is London’s third games and no city has ever staged four. This therefore presents us literally with a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to use the ‘magic dust’ of the Olympics in as many ways as possible for the benefit of the people of Hampshire.

We are currently working on a variety of projects under an all embracing aim of increasing participation in sport, physical activity and culture within the county and paying particular attention to programmes for schools.
