Sport 4 Life UK is proud to partner with Heartlands Academy to provide tailored one-to-one mentoring that helps better the lives of young people. The academy chose to work with us because of our personalised approach, which offers students a safe space to explore their goals and challenges outside of school or family settings.

The experience has been overwhelmingly positive, with our mentor, Dan, building strong connections with students and creating an environment where they feel comfortable opening up. Heartlands Academy praised his ability to keep sessions engaging by tailoring topics to the student’s needs, helping them feel supported while developing important skills.

Students have responded enthusiastically, often looking forward to their sessions with Dan. As one staff member shared, “They feel they have a space to open up to an external person without family or school being involved.” The school has seen some students take significant steps, such as visiting colleges, after their mentoring sessions.

Heartlands Academy believes the programme is helping young people make better decisions and prepare for life after school. The academy would wholeheartedly recommend Sport 4 Life UK’s mentoring services to other schools, highlighting the dedication and effectiveness of mentors like Dan. This partnership demonstrates the transformative power of mentorship and its ability to empower students to achieve their full potential.
