Fatima Whitbread MBE, Former World & European Javelin Champion

"As a young girl, sport was my savior. After 14 years in care it saved me from becoming a rebel without a cause. Sport is vital for kids, it teaches them a lot about life. The London Coaching Foundation tackles the lack of sporting programmes. The talent that exists in all aspects in the deprived areas of London is immense and I support these efforts."

Phillips Idowu, Commonwealth & European Indoor Champion

"The 2012 Olympics and Paralympics can help the vast network of communities, clubs, coaches and volunteers, to nurture young talent. The time is right to connect and inspire community engagement empowering young people to develop their knowledge, skills and values to widen their experiences I believe the London Coaching Foundation helps make that differences."

Jade Johnson, International Long Jumper

"I have a passion for sport . I already use my role as an athlete to motivate and inspire children, teachers, leaders and others. I believe that we have a large amount of potential talent in London for all sports and a professional set like the London Coaching Foundation can only enhance achievement."

 

The LCF is currently working with a number of partners and sponsors who are making our work across London possible.

The LCF is proud that London will be hosting the Olympic Games in 2012 because it will be a chance for this great city to show the world the very best that it has to offer in athletics and other Olympic and Paralympic sports. It is because of our Partners and Sponsors that we are able to help identify new talent in the run up towards the Olympic Games. However, as importantly, the LCF wants everyone to enjoy the Olympic Spirit whatever their ability or ambitions.
