On Saturday 27 August, I Am Team GB will invite people across the UK to get active at their local sports club. Thousands of clubs and groups will open their doors as part of the nation’s biggest ever sports day.
Brought to you by the National Lottery and ITV, and supported by Join In, UK Sport and the British Olympic Association, I Am Team GB is asking sports clubs and groups to welcome new members and supporters. The initiative seeks to celebrate the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and the National Lottery players’ unique support of Team GB’s athletes. Sports stars past and present will also be popping up at events and clubs across the UK. ITV will switch off its channels on 27 August for an hour (from 09:30-10:30) to inspire more people to get involved in sport.
