We are thrilled to share a heartwarming letter from Seb Coe, the Chairman of the London Organising Committee of the 2012 Olympic Games, expressing his gratitude for our support in the Young Games Makers programme.
Seb Coe’s letter was a wonderful gesture, highlighting the pride we feel in contributing to this impactful initiative. As we look forward to the London 2012 Games, we are excited for the Young Games Makers and their journey.
In his letter, Seb Coe expressed:
“I wanted to write to you personally to thank you for all the work that Vinspired has done in support of our Young Games Makers Programme…”
“I strongly believe that our volunteers will make the difference between a good and great Games, and this would not have been possible without the help of Vinspired.”
“I hope all of your volunteers have thoroughly enjoyed their involvement in the programme and are proud of the important contribution they have made.”
