DAME KELLY HOLMES TRUST

We are a UK youth sports charity which supports 11 to 25 year olds in both education and in the community. We use the power of world class athletes to train and mentor young people to achieve their potential through personal, social and emotional development programmes. In partnerships nationally and locally, our programmes increase the self esteem, confidence and resilience of the young people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
