Confederation of Indian organisations

Our grant of £40,000 is helping the Confederation of Indian Organisations (CIO) provide high quality services which strengthen South Asian voluntary organisations and helps them have astronger voice on health-policy issues. CIO delivers some projects speciﬁcallyfor Londoners. One is developing better and moreappropriate health services for older Asian people. South Asiansliving in the UK have a50% greater risk of dying prematurelyfromchronic heart disease than the general population.

The coming of the OlympicGames to London is controversial and is perceived as both an opportunity and athreat to the third sector.Potentially, the Games arefar more than just afour week, elite sporting festival, but ratheranunique opportunity to regenerate alarge swathe of our capital. It is, therefore, important that the challenges and possibilities presented by 2012 are open to all. East London is home to a vibrant and diverse collectionoflocal communities, all of which have much to offer,both in the run-upand delivery of the Games themselves and in building the legacythat will survive in the decades to follow.
