The Northampton Town Community Trust is pleased to announce the introduction of an exciting new initiative aimed at supporting the mental health and personal development of young people across Northamptonshire. The Premier League Inspires programme is being offered to a select number of secondary schools, with a particular focus on improving the wellbeing of teenage boys.
Premier League Inspires harnesses the power of football to engage young people aged 11–18 who may be at risk of not reaching their full potential. The programme addresses key challenges including self-confidence, self-esteem, behaviour, decision-making, peer pressure, healthy lifestyle habits, and physical activity. Delivered through a combination of group sessions, one-to-one mentoring, workshops, and social action projects, the initiative equips students with essential personal, social, and life skills.
Schools Manager, Lorna Stockwell said: "After running the Premier League Primary Stars programme for a number of years if has been great to get funding from the Premier League to extend our support to secondary schools with the funding for Premier League Inspires, we are already working with a number of student across 4 secondary schools and the schools are feeding back about the positive impact."
Following a successful application for Premier League funding, the Northampton Town Community Trust is offering partner schools the opportunity to access this programme one day per week throughout the academic year at a 50% discount on current secondary programme rates. This introductory offer is limited to just four secondary schools across Northamptonshire in the first year.
