Dame Kelly Holmes Trust

Who we are

Dame Kelly Holmes Trust puts world class athletes shoulder to shoulder with young people. Equipping them with a winning mindset and shaping their futures - it's a teammate like no other.  Whether that’s building relationship skills, improving self-esteem or learning to stay focused, our sporting champions help the next generation move forward with confidence. 

Our programmes boost wellbeing, increase confidence and strengthen resilience so individuals can fulfil their true potential.  We work in education, community and health settings connecting young people with their own skills and strengths through in person and digital mentoring sessions; and connecting them with their local community through hands-on practical social action. 

We believe athletes are inspirational role models. The positivity of their can-do, never quit attitude could benefit us all.  We provide specialist training to enable these sportspeople to harness their unique skillset and pass it on to others, working directly with young people and also with our partners. It’s a winning combination which gets incredible results.
