Inspired by 2012 (2013)

In March 2012, ahead of the Games the Department for Culture, Media and Sport published ‘Beyond 2012: The London 2012 Legacy Story’. This set out progress so far on achieving a lasting legacy and identified a number of further challenges and commitments. A year on from the Games, this report looks to provide an update on progress against those commitments and explain in what ways they are being taken forward over the years ahead. In the joint programme of the Government and the Mayor, legacy means ensuring a positive impact in a broad number of areas from the planning, delivery and hosting of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Legacy activity is being taken forward in five broad areas of activity: sport and healthy living; regeneration of East London; economic growth; bringing communities together; and the legacy from the Paralympics. This report aims to provide a summary of activities since the Games in each of those areas, and how they are being taken forward.
