The London Legacy Development Corporation is responsible for delivering one of the most important Olympic legacy promises made in the original London 2012 Games bid. This pledge concerns the physical legacy of the Games - the long-term planning, development, management and maintenance of the Park and its impact on the surrounding area after the London 2012 Games. Our Parklife is a Community Interest Company (CIC) set up in 2014 to connect local people to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park through volunteering, training and employment opportunities. Embedded in its activities is a commitment to local communities in East London and the regeneration legacy associated with the 2012 Olympic Games. Our Parklife delivers the Park Champion Volunteer Programme on behalf of the London Legacy Development Corporation.
