The long running scheme named 'Make it happen' is run to give London's juniors the chance to work alongside sports stars, event managers and press officers.

This will happen at the National Sports centre at Crystal Palace and will comprise of 25 children (14-17) from six schools across the capital.

Before that they will be sent on two training days, one of which was yesterday (June 7) in event management and a week today (June 15) in customer services.

There is also a junior sports tournament that will clash with the initiative. This will start this weekend (June 10) and run through to the Crystal Palace spectacular.

More than 20,000 children will compete in 52 sports - from ladies rugby to disabled athletics and angling to mixed showjumping.
