The Trust is a nationwide delivery partner for the government's flagship National Citizen Service project, where we are delivering the programme in partnership with v.
The National Citizen Service gives young people the opportunity to learn new skills, make friends from different backgrounds and create positive projects for their communities throughout the summer.
Dame Kelly Holmes said: "I am delighted that my charity, the Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust, is once again partnering with v to run part of the National Citizen programme in 2012. I visited a group in Harrow on last year's National Citizen Service programme and I saw first-hand just how much of a positive impact it had and how empowered the young people all felt to go on and do positive things with their lives.
"I believe The National Citizen Service provides young people with a unique opportunity. This programme engages them in physical challenges and allows them to communicate and integrate with other young people whilst planning and delivering projects that will benefit communities. I am very excited about continuing our partnership and believe we can make this an unrivalled experience for young people."
