Sport Makers is your chance to be part of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic legacy.

The Sport England programme is totally flexible and extremely rewarding.  You choose how you want to be involved and who you want to make sport happen for – friends, colleagues, neighbours or your local community.

Whether it’s planning the route, getting your friends to come along or promoting in your workplace – Running doesn’t just happen, it needs people to make it happen! 

Become one of 40,000 Sport Makers and you’ll not only get the skills, knowledge and opportunities you need to get more people taking part, you’ll become part of the official London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic sports legacy.

The scheme aims to recruit 40,000 new Sport Makers into sport and help provide participation opportunities in the local community. A Sport Maker is someone who is 16 years and older and makes sport happen for others. It’s not formal or restricted, you are just someone who informally helps others to participate.
