Volunteering for
London 2012


The Olympic and
Paralympic Games don�t
just inspire competing
athletes. They motivate
billions of people around
the world to be the very best they can be

And it�s not just competitors who will realise their ambitions. As the official communications services partner for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, BT is helping our people to make their mark too. Suzi Williams, BT Group Marketing and Brand Director, says, �Although London 2012 is still three years away, we�re already encouraging our people to volunteer to get involved in lots of different activities � things they wouldn�t normally have the chance to do.

BT 2012 balloon�We�ve got five volunteering themes: arts and culture; coaching and mentoring; green and environment; sport and youth and education.

�So a youth and education volunteer might find themselves going to a local school to teach communication skills using sporting analogies and the Olympic Values, to breathe life into the topic.

�It�s all about making sure we leave a lasting legacy. We�re working with our local communities now, but we also hope our volunteers will continue to help in the future, long after the Games are over.�
