Premier League Inspires

One-to-one mentoring for secondary school aged young people to help them reach their potential.

Premier League Inspires supports secondary school students to develop the confidence, skills and aspirations needed to reach their potential both in education and beyond.

Delivered in schools across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, the programme combines mentoring, personal development and social-action opportunities to help young people overcome barriers, build resilience and prepare for their future.

Through a mixture of one-to-one mentoring, group sessions, workshops and community projects, participants are supported to develop key life skills, improve their wellbeing and strengthen their confidence in a safe and supportive environment.

The programme is designed for young people who may be at risk of disengaging from education or not achieving their potential. Working closely with schools, mentors provide tailored support that helps participants improve attendance, raise aspirations and develop positive attitudes towards learning and personal development.

Premier League Inspires focuses on three key areas:

Personal development
Skills development
Development opportunities

Together, these areas help participants build confidence, improve employability skills and access opportunities that support their long-term success. Mentors are embedded within secondary schools and work closely with pastoral teams to provide consistent support, helping create positive school experiences while promoting mental wellbeing and personal growth.

As part of the Premier League Inspires delivery, Premier League Changemakers, is a leadership programme for girls and young women designed to build confidence, develop leadership skills and support personal growth. Funded by the Premier League through the Premier League Charitable Fund, the programme is delivered as part of our Premier League Inspires offer for participants aged 11–18 and has been running since 2021.

Through a series of engaging workshops and activities, Changemakers supports participants to develop self-awareness, leadership qualities and the confidence to influence positive change within their communities. The programme also encourages discussion and action around key themes such as gender equality and mental health.

Participants are given the opportunity to apply their learning in real-world settings by designing and delivering their own social action projects, helping them build teamwork, communication and problem-solving skills.

Alongside structured sessions, Changemakers offers a range of enrichment experiences that broaden horizons and inspire ambition, including visits to Parliament, workshops with local MPs and alternative sport experiences such as skateboarding.

The programme is flexible and responsive to the needs of individual schools, ensuring support is tailored to both participants and the wider school community. For more information about Premier League Inspires, please contact Leicester City in the Community.
