The Spirit of Hulme & Moss Side tour of LA developed out of Manchester’s 2000 Olympic bid, with the Youth Charter and Hulme Regeneration Ltd working in partnership to develop a business partnership for youth and sport in Manchester and the North West, with 35 Public, Private and Third Sector organisations contributing financial and in kind support.
The project was delivered in the IOC’s Centenary Year, in the build up to the Atlanta 1996 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which was to mark the Centenary Year of the Olympic Games. The tour group include IOC Member Dame Mary Glen Haig. The tour group were hosted by the Amatuer Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles, the LA 84 and the LAPD, including IOC Member Anita DeFrantz.
