Happy 10th Spirit of 2012 - those Games seem so far away but the impact & legacy has continued. This is why all large scale events - sport & otherwise - should embed legacy planning into their bids to host. Think of the power of events as a catalyst to wider positive change..

Hugely proud to share what we have been up to over the last 10 years of Spirit of 2012 - impact right across the UK demonstrating the power of events - large and small - to improve
#wellbeing , #communitycohesion and #inclusion looking forward to celebrating with partners tonight!

Back to where it all began......great to be celebrating Spirit of 2012 #Spirit10YearsofImpact in this iconic venue #InvestinginHappiness

Fantastic celebration of a decade of achievement by Spirit of 2012 rounded up by CEO Ruth Hollis. An incredible demonstration of the power of long term endowments to deliver change, evaluate and learn from impact, and leave a lasting legacy.

What a joy to be back to celebrate 10 years of Spirit of 2012. Amazing to reflect on the impact this work has had across the UK, but also on the profound impact this approach to funding has had on my career, and general outlook on life. Proud to have been a part of it for 4 years!
