Inspire Mark awarded to Cauldrons & Furnaces project

Former British triple jumper, Olympic Gold medallist and London 2012 Nations and Regions Group Deputy Chair Jonathan Edwards CBE launched celebrations around 1000 Days To Go to the London 2012 Games by visiting Caerphilly Castle by meeting people from the south Wales region who are inspired by and benefiting from the Games.

Jonathan officially launched celebrations around Cadw’s 25th anniversary at Wales’ largest Castle, Caerphilly Castle, where he awarded an Inspire Mark - the badge of the Inspire programme which recognises projects and events inspired by London 2012 - to the Cauldrons and Furnaces project. The Castle is one of the locations for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad inspired Cauldrons and Furnaces initiative, which Cadw is delivering in partnership with the Arts Council of Wales over four years.
