Station exhibition celebrates Commonwealth Games

Three years on since Birmingham hosted the Commonwealth Games, an interactive fairy tale-style experience has been installed to bring the games back to life.

United By 2022, the legacy charity of the Games, will host The Next Chapter at New Street Station from Wednesday until Friday.

Maureen Levermore, featured as one of the 50 ball chain women in the opening ceremony and said she still cherished the opportunity to be involved.

"As of today us 50 ball chain women are all still friends and it's important to know that from volunteering you can make great friendship groups," she said.

Charity CEO Nicola Turner said the exhibition told stories from volunteers, young people and local communities across the West Midlands on what the Games did for them.

She said: "The beautiful thing about this legacy is it's touched 279 places all around the West Midlands.

"We hope the public can touch and feel the impact from the Commonwealth Games.

"Come and sit on the throne of legacy or maybe come and stand on our bridge of possibilities."

The project also features a wish book for members of the public to say what they want for the future of the city.

"We hope this unique event helps to shine a light on the brilliant legacy of the Games, the vital work of our volunteers," Ms Turner added.
