Not an easy choice

There's no shortage of good causes out there, but with so much choice, it can be difficult to find the right sponsorship opportunity.


Many find it difficult to find opportunities that are truly unique, feel more like a partnership and actually give back more than you put in.



This could be the one

You may be a great sponsor, but we recognise that you're also a business. 

Sponsorship should be more than a great corporate social responsibility story.  It should also help you grow your brand and your capability. 

Supporting the Next Step READY programme will provide you with a unique partnership opportunity.

Who you'll be supporting

A Surprising Truth

 "More than half of former professional sportspeople have had concerns about their mental or emotional wellbeing since retiring.  The struggle to find new purpose can lead to more serious problems such depression, self-harm, addiction and financial problems."

BBC State of Sport Report 2018

The Harsh Reality

The harsh reality facing many elite sportspeople is that life after sport hits them harder than they ever imagine. Even the most successful of athletes and para-athletes often describe both the transition and the aftermath as “Losing all purpose.”, “Falling off a cliff”  or “Losing all hope.” 

Helping All Athletes Find Their Answers

Whether retirement from sport is planned or unplanned,  the Next Step READY Elite Athlete Training Programme, helps Athletes and Para-Athletes find their own answers to three fundamental questions:


  1. What will my IDENTITY be? 
  2. What VALUE do I bring? 
  3. What are my CHOICES? 


Looking to find the right career, wanting to set up their own business or just want to have a great plan for when the time comes, Next Step READY helps Athletes shape their IDENTITY, articulate their VALUE and explore their CHOICES.

A different kind of sponsorship model

Change lives now and for the future

This programme is more than just preparing a deserving group of exceptional people for their next future, it impacts their performance and wellbeing now. It’s preventative nature helps increase confidence, stability and on-field performance now,  as well as reduce the risks of mental health issues, loss of identity and purpose that can lead to more serious problems such as financial uncertainty, depression, self-harm, addiction…or worse.


We’re not distracted by recruitment fees or forcing athletes down unsuitable paths. Our purpose is to help them shape their IDENTITY, articulate their VALUE and give them CHOICE; giving them the CONFIDENCE and CAPABILITY to be Next Step READY, whatever that path may be. 


If you think partnering is a crazy idea, then we’d like to say a huge thank you for the generosity you’ve shown in giving your time to considering this proposition.


If you see the huge partnering potential and want to be part of a unique  story that gives back more than you put in, we invite you to register your interest.  We look forward to hearing from you.
