Met-Track has received a huge boost after London 2012 endorsed the scheme by awarding them their prestigious 'Inspire Mark'. It recognises Met-Track's innovative style in bringing new opportunities to young Londoners in the spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, using London's hosting of the biggest show on earth as a source of inspiration for young people to engage in sport.
The adoption of the Inspire logo will gradually infiltrate all of Met-Track's marketing material and will appear on this website, which itself will undergo a major refit over coming weeks. It all combines to put Met-Track at the forefront of the many youth sports schemes emerging around the Capital.
In return Met-Track will promote at every opportunity the long established ideals of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. London 2012's Get Set programme for young people to be inspired by the Games shares many of the values held within the Met-Track environment, among which are:
- Developing communication skills and social understanding;
- Helping young people eat well, get active, and feel good;
- Inspiring more young people to get involved in sport;
- Inspiring young people to take practical learning pathways.
Met-Track Scheme Director, John Powell said: "This is a ringing endorsement of all that we are about in Met-Track, and I am delighted that we have succeeded in acquiring this mark. It will perpetuate the synergy we already had with the whole London 2012 deal in getting young people into healthy lifestyles through sport. We will display the mark on all our material as the new versions are published with a great deal of pride."
