A CAMPAIGN group, formed to protest against the use of Leyton Marshes for olympic development, will send a team to the "Austerity Games".

Save Leyton Marshes will join other campaign groups as they try to highlight the effect the cost the Olympics is having on young people in Britain.

The games will feature ten athletic events to highlight the plight of young people living near the Olympic Park.

Youth Fight for Jobs will be launching their manifesto 'A Future for the 99%', which outlines the problems young people face during the economic downturn.

The event will take place in Hackney Marshes on July 23.
