Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust partnership with Morgan Hunt
Morgan Hunt and The Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust entered an ongoing relationship in April 2010. The charity inspires young people to find and fulfill their potential in sport or in life through innovative projects and programmes delivered by their team of inspirational sports performers. Morgan Hunt are sponsoring the charity’s ‘Get On Track’ programme which provides stepping stones for vulnerable young people to volunteering, work placements and employment opportunities. We believe the industry has a responsibility to help, and will use our relationship with employers to partner the Trust to make a dramatic difference to this group of young people’s lives and careers.
"Currently, close to one million young people nationwide are not in education, employment or training. I strongly believe that young people need help....someone to believe in them and help them find their own talents. That's where I want my charity, the Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust to make a difference, through the 'Get on Track Programme'. I believe this project will help the young people across the UK make real changes in their lives, providing practical support towards securing work placements and employment." Dame Kelly Holmes, August 2010.
Rickeisha Gordon, who participated on the Get On Track programme, had this to say “This past week has been brilliant, I have learnt so much and have gained so many skills. I have had great fun and I would recommend it to all. Now I have made great new friends and I feel I can go into the world and achieve what I want thanks to the Get On Track project.”
