Sport Relief Mile 2012 – Organise one!
Sport Relief is going to be bigger and better than ever before in the run up to the 2012 London Olympics. Once again, the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile will sit right at the heart of it all.
On Sunday 25th March 2012 hundreds of Mile events will take place up and down the country, with hundreds of thousands of people taking part.
Find out how you can get involved and start planning now…..
Not only is organising a Mile great fun and a fantastic way to raise money for Sport Relief, it also brings a few perks along with it. Hosting a Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile allows many local voluntary sports clubs to really feel part of the larger national campaign. It’s a great way to bring the whole community together and also brings new people to the club. It is a great way to showcase your facility and use the day to promote your club to potential new members both adults and children!
Sport Relief are on the lookout for people just like you to bring Sport Relief to their town or village by organising a Mile event. Sport Relief will be with you every step of the way providing you with promotional materials to help spread the word locally, a box of tricks packed with goodies for event day, advice and support whenever you need it, and we’ll even handle everything to do with entering people into your Mile!
The following towns have already got involved in Staffordshire:
So join the nation in celebrating the UK’s biggest year of sport and organise a Mile in your local community. To register your interest visit www.sportrelief.com/the-mile or call 020 7820 2363!

What’s in the box?
Youthbox www.youthbox.info is the county council’s brand new website for young people in Staffordshire.
The site is now available on the web and is the place to go if young people aged 11 - 19 want help and advice for when they grow up, to search for things to do or simply want to share their own work.
Information about services available to young people, news and local projects will be available, as well as all the latest on what other young people are up to across the region. It is also be the main point of call for all jobs, careers and learning advice, replacing the Staffordshire Connexions website.
There will also be regular competitions where young people can submit their own work to win some top prizes.
We spoke to over 500 young people, asking them what information they would like to see on this site and how they want it to look. The result is what you see before you!
However, we recognise that we won’t be able to cover everything ourselves and that all our partners will have a good idea about where we could and should be improving the website with links or information about local support, services, initiatives and projects that you are involved in.
This will not only give you free publicity but will also give your service the opportunity to get key information out to your target audience.
Please take a look at www.youthbox.info and send in your ideas, feedback and submissions to youthbox@staffordshire.gov.uk.
