The need
There are now over one million 16 to 25 year olds not in education, employment or training (NEET) in the UK. That’s nearly 1 in 5 of all young people. From listening to the young people on their programmes, the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust (DKHT) know the reasons why they are in this situation are multiple. Some are carers; others have a disability or learning difficulty. Some are homeless; or have had challenging upbringings with no role models. Others have had a better start in life, but are struggling to find work in a crowded job market at the tail end of a recession. Every young person the DKHT come across are different, but all are willing to at least try to turn things around.
What the DKHT do
Through a range of personal development programmes run across the country, each and every disadvantaged young person the DKHT works with receives mentoring and support from a world class athlete.
How the DKHT do it
Olympians, Paralympians and top athletes have experienced the highs and lows of world-class competition. They know what it’s like to overcome adversity and still have the will to succeed. The DKH Trust supports these athletes, known as our GiveBack Team, and help them make the most of their skills and experience to improve young people’s lives.
The results
Last year, 80% of young people supported by the DKHT made a positive change in their lives and 75% were ready for sport, training, education, volunteering and/or employment. By 2016, they’ll reach 200,000 young people.
Their athletes
Every one of the disadvantaged young people receives mentoring and support from a world class athlete. The DKHT support these athletes, known as our GiveBack Team, as they retire from competing, to help them make the most of their skills and experience to improve young people’s lives.
Why the DKHT supports athletes?
Their research tells them that many athletes need help to transition into post-competitive career lives and most have traits that make them ideal role models and mentors for young people.
There is no other organisation that provides a long term support mechanism for these athletes to develop from their sport and utilise their exceptional experience and expertise to benefit others in the community.
