London 2012 will depend on up to 70,000 volunteers to make sure the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games run smoothly and successfully.
Volunteers will carry out a range of essential tasks, from spectator services to language services and medical care.
The London 2012 volunteering spirit will spread wider than the Games themselves as we encourage everyone to give their time to help others.
