Volunteers for Olympic Torch Relay

With one year to go until the Olympic Flame arrives in the UK, London 2012 has launched the search for 8,000 Torchbearers to take part in the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay.  They will be individuals whose personal stories will inspire millions of people as the 70-day Relay travels the length and breadth of the UK. Natural England has been invited to carry the flame for the environment and seek out people who have demonstrated commitment to the natural environment and its enjoyment though our network or partners. We will be promoting this information externally through our website and inviting partners and stakeholders to include it on theirs.

There are 14 days left to nominate a volunteer to be involved in the Olympic Torch relay around the country next year.  Please follow the attached link to find out more.
