The Dame Kelly Holmes Trust aims to help young people overcome multiple barriers to participation both practically and psychologically. They do this by providing 1:1 and group support to help build confidence and self-belief as well as building confidence. It also looks to explore barriers and how to overcome these as well as taking into account the young peoples interests, aspirations and look at identifying their future goals. As such the programme is working alongside University students who are coming into Platform to deliver the programme to our clients.
As part of this Platform will be visited by the University of Hull students for 6-10 weeks and 2 top class athletes will also visit alongside the students, the athletes could be an Olympian or a Paralympian. The students will then provide a range of activities to our clients in Platform in the aim to learn from what they've been taught from the programme and teach this on to others especially those more vulnerable.
We're so excited to see what the future will bring with this new partnership and we're sure our clients will love it also.
lots of love the
Platform family
