You are invited to nominate people to carry the Olympic Torch 

The stopover points for the Olympic Torch were announced on 18 May – the route itself is top secret for obvious reasons  - and is designed to spread the spirit of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games around the nation. But who will carry the Torch?

Do you know someone who is truly inspirational? Someone who always strives to do their best? This is your chance to give them their moment to shine. 

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.

Call to action – Olympic Torch relay

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. 

The call to action for twofold. Firstly, can you think about volunteers who have been outstanding in their work for the natural environment? Secondly, can  you to encourage our partners to nominate ‘heroes’ too and include information about the opportunity in any briefings or at meetings.

Together with their Presenting Partners Coca Cola, Lloyds TSB and Samsung, London 2012 need us to help them find the Torchbearers for the environment.  Please go to the London 2012 website to find out more and make your nomination.
