Hello,
My name is Wesley, and I am a former professional athlete and founder of AR, a sportswear apparel brand run by athletes. At AR, we believe in nurturing young talents through comprehensive mentorship programs that extend beyond their immediate professional interests, encouraging a well-rounded development.
Having played professional football for over 12 years, I’ve experienced the challenges and triumphs of the sport firsthand. This journey taught me the importance of discipline, resilience, and teamwork, but also highlighted the need for holistic development beyond the field. With this in mind, we are launching a unique mentorship initiative aimed at supporting the next generation of athletes.
The Vision
AR's mentorship program is designed to go hand-in-hand with traditional sports training, offering young athletes, particularly those in academies, opportunities to explore their passions and develop new skills. We believe that fostering interests outside of sports can significantly contribute to a young person’s overall well-being, creativity, and resilience, preparing them for a fulfilling life both during and after their athletic careers.
Why We Need Your Support
To bring this vision to life, we need your support. Your contribution will help us:
- Expand Our Mentorship Programs: Develop and offer workshops, seminars, and hands-on experiences, and community engagement.
- Provide Scholarships: Ensure that young talents, regardless of their financial background, have access to our mentorship opportunities.
- Develop Partnerships: Build strong collaborations with industry leaders and community projects to offer high-quality experiences for our mentees.
How Your Contribution Will Make a Difference
- £25: Supports materials and resources for one workshop.
- £50: Sponsors a young athlete’s participation in a full-day mentorship session.
- £100: Contributes to developing community projects led by our mentees.
- £250 or more: Helps fund a scholarship for a young talent to join the program for a full year.
Every donor will receive regular updates on the impact of their contribution, and those who donate £100 or more will be recognized as a sponsor on our website and in our program materials.
