The University of Nottingham’s sports for all initiative has received London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games backing for the second successive year, after being awarded the Inspire 2012 mark.
Any-Body Month, which breaks down barriers to participation while inspiring more people to become active, was recognised as an initiative which holds the seven core Olympic values at its heart: friendship, excellence, respect, inspiration, determination, courage and equality.
Seb Coe, chair of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games said: “Any-Body Month is encouraging students, staff and the local community to fulfil their potential.
“I am proud that with the help of partners such as The University of Nottingham, we are delivering our vision to use the power of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games to boost participation among people, no matter what their ability or past experience.”
After receiving the Inspire mark for the second year running, organisers hope to attract record numbers to the events held over three weekends in March.
