London 2012 Olympics: Seb Coe honoured with award in recognition of Olympic legacy Two other projects were highly commended by the judging panel: Extra Time, run by the Football Foundation, which engages more than 3,000 elderly men and women in physical activity to help improve emotional wellbeing and reduce social isolation; and Everton in the Community's Tackling Inequality, Empowering Ability programme, which addresses mental health issues on Merseyside. All three projects will receive a support package from Beyond Sport to enable them to further develop their activities. The evening also saw Coe and Sir Keith Mills receive Beyond Sport's Leadership in Sport Award, supported by P&G. Coe and Mills, the Chair of the II Foundation, received the award on behalf of International Inspiration, the official international sports legacy programme of London 2012. International Inspiration, a unique partnership between the British Council, UK Sport and UNICEF, has worked with an astonishing 12 million children to fulfil the promise made by Coe and the London 2012 bid team in Singapore in 2005, when the two-time Olympic gold medallist vowed that the London 2012 Games would "reach young people all around the world and connect them to the inspirational power of the Games so they are inspired to choose sport, improving their lives as a result." "International Inspiration's work has been a key part of London 2012"s vision to inspire young people around the world, and I am delighted to accept this Award from Beyond Sport on behalf of everyone who has contributed to its success," said Coe. To have made a difference in the lives of over 12 million children around the world before London 2012 even gets underway is testament to the incredible power of sport. Nathan Homer, Sports Marketing & Olympics Project Director at Procter & Gamble (P&G), added: "We are delighted to support both of these Awards, which celebrate the impact of London 2012 and the Olympic movement both within the UK and abroad. P&G are proud of our place in the Olympic movement and welcome this chance to pay tribute to the inspirational leadership that Seb Coe and his team have provided around the world, and to recognise the outstanding projects on the ground in the UK.
