Essex Legacy

About Us

The Essex 2012 Legacy team was established back in 2006 to lead a partnership of organisations to secure a legacy in Essex from the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. The partnership is made up of a group of organisations from across Essex, Southend and Thurrock and is guided by the Essex Strategic Board for the 2012 Games (ESB).

The Essex 2012 Legacy team is based at Essex County Council and is working to meet the following objectives:

  • Increasing Physical Activity and Sports Participation levels (including closer alignment to local and national health initiatives)
  • Pre Games Training Camps: leveraging Essex’s existing infrastructure
  • Delivering a successful Cultural Olympiad
  • Extending London 2012 Games as a tool to impact on tourism in Essex
  • Maximising the Economic Impact of the 2012 Games in Essex
  • Promoting skills development in Essex’s businesses and workforce
  • Supporting Volunteers
  • Supporting Learning & Development
