Setting the stage for the Games

The Games are fundamentally a sporting and cultural event which the city has signed a contract to host.

The council has a range of commitments set out in the contract, including the preparation of venues and the city operations, engagement with a range of people and defining and delivering a tangible Games legacy.

But our collective ambitions go way beyond the commitments set out in the contract.

Every team within the council is playing an important role to in either the direct delivery of the Games or in sustaining its legacy.

We’ve established a ‘one team’ approach which enables all of us to:

• Work collaboratively to prepare the stage for a successful Commonwealth Games;
• Build capability and capacity across the council through knowledge transfer and professional development opportunities, and
• Co-create a lasting legacy for the city of Birmingham, grounded in local insight and experience commitments set out in the contract.
