The Prize

Please note: This lot closed on our platform on November 1st, 2016 at 10:46am EDT but was part of a live auction on November 3rd. For questions visit our help center.

This auction is for a hockey shirt signed by Olympic Gold Winners Kate & Helen Richardson Walsh.

The Team GB Women's hockey gold medal triumph was one of the most iconic success stories at the 2016 Rio Olympics. After overcoming a disappointing World Cup in 2014, the GB team won eight straight games in Rio culminating in a nail-biting win over Holland in the final. Captain Kate Richardson Walsh is the most capped player in GB history and led the team to victory alongside team-mate and partner Helen. Kate and Helen are both passionate Ambassadors for Access Sport and have signed this Team GB hockey shirt in anticipation of your winning bid.

This hockey shirt is an excellent memento from the Rio 2016 Olympics - where Great Britain came second in the world.

The proceeds raised from this auction will support Access Sport.

The Cause

Access Sport enhances the life prospects of disadvantaged children by providing opportunities to experience and enjoy the power of sports.

We do this by building thriving community sports clubs, led by inspirational local volunteers, in the most disadvantaged urban areas. These clubs then provide life changing opportunities for local, vulnerable young people whilst creating a lasting, locally-owned community resource.

Our work supports young people aged 5-25, with a particular emphasis on those under 18 who are disabled, disadvantaged or excluded from society.

We have a multi-sport approach that recognises the importance of different sports in different settings for different participants, enabling maximum inclusivity and impact—from BMX to boxing, running to rugby, sitting volleyball to sailing. Our unique experience across a wide range of sports and settings in leading cities has led us, in the 16 years since we were established in 2004, to become nationally recognised as an innovative leader in the field of community sports.

At present we are growing major youth-led movements in BMX cycling and hockey as these sports are proving to be highly successful in supporting disadvantaged and disabled young people to enhance their life-prospects.
