hr>The 2012 Olympics promise to bring benefits to Londoners
hr>This briefing was written to ensure that the black and minority ethnic (BME) communities are involved in the 2012 Olympic Games development. It aims to inform the BME voluntary and community sector about the Olympic Delivery Authority’s (ODA) Race Equality Scheme (RES) , not just what it means in principle but also in practice. If the Games are to benefit Londoners and particularly those who reside in the East end of London, then communities need to be aware of the opportunities which exist in addition to the commitment made by the ODA.

hr>In late 2006 around twenty-five participants attended an event at the Probation Service in London. The aim of the event was to inform and consult with black and minority ethnic (BME) providers of prison and probation services about the shift from grant funding to commissioning. The BME sectors major fear is that opportunities will be dominated by larger and financially stronger organisations, undermining and excluding the small scale yet extremely valuable and innovative work of BME groups. The BME sector hopes that the commissioning process will be an effective gateway to greater opportunities and independence and not another institutional mechanism preventing their participation.
