What is Premier League Inspires?
Premier League Inspires is a personal development programme launched in 2019 by the Premier League, professional football clubs, and the PFA. It supports young people aged 11–18 who are at risk of not reaching their potential, helping them build life skills and positive attitudes through mentoring, workshops, and social-action projects in schools and referral units. Over 30,000 participants have benefitted so far.
This flexible programme allows students to explore a wide range of meaningful topics over either a 6-week or 12-week period, with both options leading to a recognised qualification. The content is tailored to suit different key stages:
• KS3: Topics focus on building self-esteem, enhancing emotional wellbeing, and developing interpersonal skills.
• KS4: Topics centre around career planning, setting future aspirations, and preparing for life beyond school.
