Organisation aims / mission / values

  • Our Major Events Programme supports large scale sporting, music, arts and cultural events in London by providing volunteers who share their knowledge, pride and enthusiasm on behalf of the Mayor of London. They are a part of some truly unique and exciting opportunities.
  • Events we have supported include Lumiere London, Prudential Ride London, Great Fire 350, the London Marathon and the 2017 World Para Athletics Championships and IAAF World Championships.
  • If you want to know that your contribution to an event has helped in its success, that you played a part in a memorable and unique event, made friends along the way and were a part of what makes this city so great to visit, then become a Major Event volunteer.

How we deliver these aims

Team London is the Mayor of London's volunteering programme. We encourage all Londoners to become active citizens and to give their time to make the capital a better place. At Team London, we believe volunteering is a great way to help Londoners reach their full potential. It can help them to build the new skills that employers are looking for. It is also a great way to bring people from different backgrounds and communities together. As such, it’s a great social leveller and is helping London to become a happier and more unified city.
