Premier League Charitable Fund impact

The Premier League Charitable Fund is one of the largest sports charities in the world, having awarded almost half a billion pounds of grant funding to professional football club charities, helping them to change the lives of more than 2.5 million people across England and Wales.

The Premier League Charitable Fund commissions independent research and evaluation of the programme and funds we support.

In 2024, the Premier League Charitable Fund commissioned an evaluation of the impact of the Premier League Inspires programme on participants' attendance and behaviour. It was conducted by the Sport Industry Research Group and Sheffield Institute of Education, Sheffield Hallam University.

The independent research revealed that 92 per cent of schools believe that Premier League Inspires helps to improve pupils' behaviour, while 96 per cent state that the programme increases pupils' engagement in lessons.

The research also revealed that almost 80 per cent of schools felt that Premier League Inspires helped to reduce pupil absenteeism, with 86 per cent saying that the programme also reduced pupils’ risk of exclusion.
