UK: Taking Part 2011/12 Quarter 4

Source: Department for Culture, Media and Sport (UK)

From Key Findings:

85.6 per cent of adults intend to follow the London 2012 Olympic or Paralympic Games; with 24.4 per cent of adults actively getting involved in the Games.

Almost two thirds (62.9%) of adults are slightly or strongly supportive of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, a significant decrease from 66.3 per cent in 2010/11 and 71.0 per cent in 2005/06.

A significantly higher proportion of BME participants compared to participants with a white background, said they were motivated to do more sport, voluntary work or cultural activities as a result of the UK winning the bid to host the 2012 Olympics.
