Last year the Activate Sports Festival kicked off Lambeth Council’s countdown to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The festival gave visitors the opportunity to ‘have a go’ at Olympic and Paralympic sports such as tennis, rowing, cycling and climbing. Local sports clubs were on-hand on the day offering training and support as well as advice for those who wanted to join a club to continue with their chosen activity.
How can I get involved?
• Join Lambeth’s mailing list to get updates on all the activities on offer at this year’s festival and how to get involved.
• If you are a club or local sports organisation, Activate could act as the perfect showcase, contact us to find out how you could be part of the festival.
• Do you have an act you would like to perform on our stage or would you like to run a workshop i.e. Bollywood Dance or line dancing?
• Volunteers are always needed so if you would like to assist backstage or in a marquee or alongside a coach please let Amy know.
