Olympic sponsors in talks over 2012 legacy events

The charity, called Join In, has hired ex-LOCOG marketing director Greg Nugent and former ITV chief executive Sir Charles Allen to help devise a series of events to encourage people to volunteer and participate at their local sports clubs.

The first Join In events, sponsored by BT, took place in the weeks between the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Nugent said: ‘Our focus is to dream up something special for next year and work [with] great partners to help make Join In one of the most exciting parts of the legacy from the London Games.’
