On Camp with Kelly get together in Birmingham
This was a chance to catchup with some of my OCWK athletes on a one to one basis as well as doing group sessions and classes. You can read all the details and catch up with the latest OCWK news on www.oncampwithkelly.co.uk
On the Saturday we attended the Aviva Grand Prix were four OCWK athletes where in action. I was there to witnessed the great performance of Jenny Meadows when she broke my seven-year-old 800m British indoor record, and I feel she’s in a good position to hopefully bring back a medal from Doha next month.

The programme gives ‘up and coming’ stars of the future the chance to find out what it takes to succeed in elite sport. The young people involved took part in challenging workshops and practical activities which include team building, nutrition, communication skills, working with the and effective training techniques.
There are so many promising young performers in East London that it is fantastic to be able to help them on the long journey it takes to reach the top!
My charity not only helps promising young athletes but also disadvantaged young people in need of new directions in their lives.

I was a judge for the News of the World Children’s Champions Awards. The Awards are prestigious honours that celebrate those who go further than anyone else to make a positive difference to the lives of children.
In the evening my charity DKH Legacy Trust held a partners event, a chance to catch up with the businesses and people who have helped us to progress over the past year. We took them for a London Eye flight before gathering for a networking session.
