NON-commercial projects and events inspired by the Olympic and Paralympic Games only have six weeks left to join the London 2012 Inspire project.

The Inspire mark scheme allows organisations to promote their project or event and show how they can be a part of London 2012.

Chair of the London organising committee Lord Seb Coe said: ā€œIā€™m delighted that we already have so many fantastic, innovative projects that are using the Games to inspire and engage their local communities and we look forward to supporting and showcasing these brilliant projects next year.ā€

The closing date for applications is Thursday, December 1 and anyone wishing to get involved can do so by visiting www.london2012.com
