As we prepare for the London 2012 Games, we are seeking to maximise the opportunity to create a lasting legacy and celebrate the Olympics coming to London. “We asked staff to suggest ways we can create positive memories of 2012 and leave an Olympic legacy for the Trust,” said Nicola Grinstead, Deputy Director of Operations who is leading our planning for the 2012 Games.

One of these suggestions was an ‘Olympic time capsule’ and we need everyone’s help to decide what will go in it.

We are planning two time capsules – one will be displayed at St Thomas', and the other one will be sent to Brazil, where the next Olympic and Paralympic Games are to be held.

A panel from the Evelina Children’s Hospital will decide on the final items for the capsule.
