About the DKH Legacy Trust

Introduction

Dame Kelly Holmes is best known for her international athletics career.

Kelly wanted to create a legacy from her athletics career that would benefit the young people who look up to, and are inspired by elite sports performers like herself.

Having seen first hand the difference that world class sports performers can make to kids' lives, Dame Kelly set up her own charity, the DKH Legacy Trust. Its mission is to 'create life chances for young people'.

Uniquely, every young person that the Trust supports has the chance to work with, be inspired by, and learn from the experience of world class sports stars.

The charity's team of Olympians, Paralympians, World, Commonwealth and European Champions know what it takes to overcome adversity, and still have the will to succeed, not only in sport, but in life too.
