THANK YOU LONDON OLYMPIC VOLUNTEERS!
"Unsung heros: Games Makers are working across the city to
ensures the Games go as smoothly as possible"
FACT: LOCOG hired 70 thousand volunteers called Gamesmakers to help with the
ceremonies, games and visitors in London. Danny Boyle hired thousands of
volunteers for the ceremonies and to help build the stage. They all have
happily volunteered their time and a bit of mony in some circumstances to
ensure they are as helpful as possible to make the games a success.
Those members of the public that are complaining may assume that the
volunteers know everything but they were each recruited for a specific skills
set or area of experience. If they are not a transport volunteer they will not
know about train times. Some of the volunteers don't live in London, but
applied to help with numbers - at least they are doing something to help.
FACT: Do you know that the Gamesmaker volunteers are expected to work 10 hour
shifts for 10 days. Most of them are going above and beyond that and making
other's good experience a priority.
FACT: Do you know most volunteers may miss on seeing Games because they are
not allowed beyond the entrance gate and because going to ticketed games may
interfere with the volunteer shifts?
FACT: Did you know that some volunteers have volunteered for more than 1
position since early 2011? This includes Selection Events, Test Events,
Simulation Events etc
FACT: Do you know that London Ambassadors were recruited to help out with New
Year in London and the Queen's Jubilee?
FACT: Did you know that volunteers sacrificed their summer holidays to stay
and help stage a successful Olympics?
FACT: Did you know some volunteers started working since early 2011 and helped
at the Royal Wedding?
SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION TO THE LONDON 2012 GAMES
