Why Us?
Aspire Life is built on authenticity, trust and aspiration. We show up as real people, creating connections where young people feel seen and understood.
We earn trust through consistency and follow-through. We raise aspirations through purposeful experiences, practical skills – and the belief that small wins build confidence, resilience and belief in what’s possible.
Our story so far
Founded in 2020 by Madeleine Frampton, Aspire Life began with belief born from lived experience. A football injury ended Maddy’s semi-professional career, but led her into schools, supporting young people struggling to thrive in mainstream.
In 2023, former-mentor Lewis Maguire became Managing Director. Together they’ve grown a movement of 50 people empowering futures across the South West. “At Aspire Life hope isn’t wishful thinking. It’s what happens when someone finally believes in you.”
Our Partnerships
Across the South West of England, Aspire Life is embedded in the communities we serve. We work alongside mainstream schools and local authorities, while also taking learning and activity beyond traditional settings.
Our partnerships transform spaces into settings for sport, holiday provision and real-world experiences, supporting young people to explore their surroundings, grow in confidence and contribute positively to society.

FAQs
At Aspire Life, we like to base our ‘work’ around the student, whether this is following an AQA pack around the students interest, e.g. football. We also like to include Maths and English into our sessions at the level the student is working at. This may include worksheets or using these skills in day to day life.
Our sessions run from 8:30-4:30. Timings for student sessions vary depending on the hours they need us for, e.g. 10 hours of funding a week may be broken down into 5, 2 hour sessions across the week 9:00-11:00
