City of London Launch Green to Gold Campaign
Published: 5 July 2011
Green to Gold is a campaign to encourage, engage and inspire
communities to use open spaces for positive recreation to enhance
health and well being. The campaign aims to encourage you to
use your local open space for walking, cycling, riding or any
activity that means you enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment
in your area.
Green to Gold is happening right across London in all the Open
Spaces that the City of London looks after.
Green to Gold is a unique chance for communities to harness the
potential of a lasting legacy of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic
Games in London in 2012. Green to Gold has been awarded the Olympic
Inspire Mark, in recognition of its accessible, participative and
inspiring ambitions to promote and celebrate the value of open
space to surrounding communities.
The official launch event for the programme will take place
alongside the City of London Festival in
the
Guildhall Yard on Wednesday 6 July 2011 - come along and
welcome a team of 40 City of London cyclists who have travelled in
from five of our Open Spaces that morning, meet a legendary
Olympian and a Team 2012 athlete, talk to a number of providers who
will help you get you fit and health or take part in a one of our
activities.
