Premier League Inspires is a personal development programme, funded by the Premier League through the Premier League Foundation.

The programme uses the power of football to inspire young people aged 11-to-18 to develop the personal skills and positive attitudes needed to succeed in life. It is predominantly delivered in secondary schools.

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.

Ipswich Town Foundation recently began its Premier League Inspires delivery, and supporting young people across five local schools – four mainstream and one special needs school.

This season, 54 professional football club charities across the Premier League and English Football League are delivering Premier League Inspires sessions at their stadiums, in local schools and at alternative educational settings. More than 40,000 young people from across England and Wales have received more than 135,000 hours of targeted support through the programme to date.
