"I have been connected with the charity for seven months now and they have been there for me in every way I could ask. To have people to turn to for advice, including not only Kelly herself, but her team who understand what drives sports people and can relate to the position you are in, really is a God-send. Leaving a structure and a goal that has been your whole life for a number of years can really be a strange time and having people within the charity to turn to is a really wonderful thing." Pippa Wilson, Beijing 2008 Gold medallist

The DKH Legacy Trust is helping world class sports performers build on their unique experience.

As they transition from competition to a new career, we help them to further develop their skills through our National Support Programme.

In return for this support, the Olympians, Paralympians, World and Commonwealth medallists work with young people on our charity projects, allowing the youngsters to benefit from their experience.
