70,000 volunteers will be required to help run the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games but in the West Midlands our primary focus is to get people to volunteer for 2012 related programmes within the region as well as in London.
Major international sports events taking place in our region, the Culture programme and the Community Games provide great volunteering opportunities which will continue to grow as the West Midlands rolls out its legacy.
