Calling all good ideas! The Go London social innovation competition
The Go London Innovation Competition is an opportunity for all Londoners to go online and share what inspires them to get active, as well as submit their original and innovative ideas about how to boost participation in physical activity. The top ideas will compete at a workshop to be hosted at City Hall for the opportunity to be developed and turned into a reality.
What is the Go London Social Innovation Competition?
The Go London Innovation Competition is an opportunity for Londoners to go online and share what inspires them to get active, as well as submit their original and innovative ideas about how to boost participation in physical activity. Through Go London, the NHS and partners are working to increase physical activity participation among Londoners in the run-up to 2012.
Join the conversation
We have launched a new online project to stimulate conversations about the best ways to get active and how to overcome some of the barriers. Through this online conversation, we aim to raise awareness and interest in physical activity among Londoners, of whom half are currently classed as 'inactive'.
Enter the competition
Through the bespoke website, we are also interested in hearing innovative ideas that could make a difference to participation levels in London. The top ideas will compete at a workshop to be hosted at City Hall for the opportunity to be developed and turned into a reality.
Get involved!
Anyone can get involved in the online discussion so we would encourage you and your colleagues, family and friends to participate in the conversations and to take the opportunity to raise issues that you feel would make a difference to getting people active.
