Dame Kelly Holmes Trust

The Dame Kelly Holmes Trust provides personal development programs for young people facing disadvantage, with mentoring and support from world-class athletes. These programs aim to develop confidence, self-esteem, and life, work, and social skills. The organization also supports athletes in their transition from competitive sport to new career paths. The Trust has reached over 170,000 young people, with 70% of participants moving into education, employment, or training within three months of completing the program. The organization aims to address the needs of the one million 16 to 25-year-olds not in education, employment, or training in the UK. Dame Kelly Holmes' vision is to create a legacy that benefits young people, and the organization relies on fundraising to support its programs. A donation to the Trust could provide young people with resources such as interview attire, phone credit, or funding for community projects. The Trust aims to use world-class athletes to engage, enable, and empower young people facing disadvantage.
