Gillette has launched its 'Great Start' campaign which aims to inspire the next generation of coaches by encouraging people to get involved

The campaign features brand ambassadors Sir Chris Hoy and Liam Tancock, who will highlight the integral role coaches have played in their professional careers.

Gillette ambassador Hoy said: "I'm delighted to be involved in a campaign that celebrates the fantastic work coaches do. I know first-hand just how inspirational a great coach can be and it's important we support those looking to get the next generation off to a great start."

Thousands of people across the country either take a coaching course or participate in volunteering activities and the 'Great Start' campaign should help these people receive grants to further their coaching career.

The grants will be available to both existing and new coaches who are starting out, with applications made via http://www.facebook.com/GilletteUK/app_342374105822309
