Welcome to the Personal Best Programme

Welcome to the Personal Best website. Personal Best is a training and volunteer programme, aimed at helping people furthest from employment into long term, sustainable jobs.

The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games will require 70,000 games time volunteers, the Personal Best Programme aims to prepare people for this challenge by offering training and volunteer opportunities in the lead up to 2012 and beyond – ultimately aiming to encourage 20,000 people into work.
