Ian Wright

Former Premier League, England Footballer & Pro Project Promotions Ambassador

Inspiring Change Through Sport with Pro Project Promotions

"Football changed my life. It gave me purpose, identity, and a platform I could never have imagined growing up. But what people do not often see is how hard it can be when that career comes to an end. The structure, the drive, the connection with the team – it is not easy to replace. That is why staying active, involved, and purposeful is so important for former athletes.

Being an ambassador for Pro Project Promotions means a lot to me. It is not just about sport – it is about creating something positive, building community, and helping people through shared experience. Whether it is raising money for charity, supporting ex-professionals, or giving others a night to remember, this is about more than an event. It is about using sport as a force for good, and I am proud to be part of it."
