Membership Agreement

Team Dorset is the banner under which organisations, both public and private, are working together in a range of partnerships to deliver a discernable and lasting legacy for Dorset by using the 2012 Olympic Games as a catalyst for and accelerant of change.

Team Dorset has been developed as an associated brand to Team South West, the brand for the South West England Directorate for the 2012 Games.

All Dorset organisations and people are able to join Team Dorset – Businesses, Public Sector, Community Groups and Individuals – on the understanding that they are committed to the Team Dorset ethos.

The Team Dorset ethos is a set of shared values that will manifest in different ways for different types of organisations and individuals, for example, it could mean improved service delivery, up-skilled work force, increased employment, more volunteers, improved partnership working, sector development, business growth or personal development. However it manifests itself, the legacy goals for each will be set by that organisation or individual. By joining Team Dorset an organisation commits to;

• Working to deliver a discernable and lasting legacy for itself or the community or Dorset or any combination of these three by using the 2012 Olympic Games as a catalyst for and accelerant of change.
• Working, from time to time, in a single or range of partnerships with other like minded organisations and individuals in Team Dorset.
• Sharing, from time to time, knowledge and experience (except that which is commercial in confidence) with other like minded organisations and individuals in Team Dorset.
• Being an ambassador or champion for Dorset, Team Dorset & building legacy together.
• Using the Team Dorset brand within the current brand usage and guidelines.

Membership of Team Dorset is free of charge for all eligible applicants. The membership details you have supplied will be held on the Team Dorset database, they will not be shared with any external organisations but they will be available to other Team Dorset members.
