Mayor of London

The Mayor of London's Sports Participation Fund has helped to support our Get on Track programme in London.

Our athlete mentors have been supporting some of London's most disadvantaged young people, providing key mentoring and giving them the skills, confidence, determination, commitment and self-belief to get back to education, employment or training.

Dame Kelly Holmes said: "Thanks to the support of the Mayor of London's Sports Participation Fund, my charity has been able to support young people from Lewisham with mentoring from world-class sports performers. Get on Track has given these young people the opportunity to make some great changes to their lives."

Mayor Boris Johnson said: "The beauty of sport is its ability to get people together from all backgrounds to join in positive activity. As well as helping young people stay healthy, it can provide immense mental stimulation and as such help tackle issues such as crime, educational underachievement and a lack of community cohesion."
