Premier League Inspires
Using the appeal of the Premier League, we provide schools with high-quality support and activity to encourage pupils’ aspirations and skills.
Our Premier League Inspires programme uses professional football clubs’ business models to:
- Inspire young people to engage positively in education.
- Develop important life skills.
- Raise awareness of the world of work.
Premier League Inspires is a personal development programme, developed by the Premier League and professional football clubs, and supported by the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA).
It is predominantly delivered in secondary schools and pupil referral units.
Launched in 2019, the programme uses the power of football to inspire young people aged 11-18 at risk of not reaching their potential, to develop the personal skills and positive attitudes needed to succeed in life.
Premier League Inspires empowers participants to develop personal, social, employability and life-skills, through a series of regular face-to-face group sessions, mentoring, workshops and social-action projects, providing pupils with the help they need now and supporting them to plan for their future.
More than 30,000 young people have benefitted from their involvement in Premier League Inspires to date.
