A structured mentoring programme that builds self awareness, direction and the habits young people need to move forward.
Almost every young person can benefit from understanding themselves better. What they want, what shapes their choices, and which habits move them closer to their goals.
This is not only for young people who are struggling. It is about giving them the tools to understand themselves, build confidence and take ownership of their future.
We work from secondary school age through to university, with programmes shaped around the young people and setting.
“One student in particular grew in confidence, started attending lessons on time and engaging with teachers and her peers. This also had a positive outcome at home.”

“I observed some pupils in the programme talking to each other at break times when they were not in the same friendship group. Boys also became more supportive towards girls in the programme.”

We also work with trusts, sixth forms, alternative provision, youth charities, community programmes and clubs in other sports. Tell us what you need and we’ll shape an approach around it.
Understand the story you tell yourself, the labels you carry and what is shaping your choices.
Define what you want, who you want to become and what may be holding you back.
Turn goals into clear actions, habits and progress you can track.
Every young person who completes the programme receives a certificate of completion and an experience they can draw on in a personal statement, UCAS application or CV.
We choose mentors young people can relate to and respect, then train them to a shared standard.
Visionary Mentoring was founded by friends who met through basketball. We saw what sport can teach young people about discipline, resilience and working towards something that matters.
We turned those lessons into a practical mentoring curriculum that young people can use far beyond sport.
Young people need to feel safe to speak openly. We create that environment through clear boundaries, trained mentors and robust safeguarding processes.
Every mentor has an enhanced DBS check, safeguarding training and in-house mentoring training.
A teacher or teaching assistant is present throughout every school session.
Concerns are escalated to our Designated Safeguarding Lead and the school’s DSL, following agreed safeguarding procedures.
Tell us about the young people you want to support and what you want to change. We’ll talk through what could work, what it would cost, and whether we’re the right fit.
