Celebrating one of our OGs! 🫡💫🇺🇸
Today is Scott’s last day as our Head of Youth Delivery, as he transitions into the next step of his career. 💜

Scott joined Guardian Ballers on the first ever week of sessions post-lockdown in 2021 and has faithfully led within operations for 4.5 years! Over this time, GB has reached over 4000 different young people across Coventry, Warwickshire and beyond!

"Scott aka 'The American One' deserves the greatest salutation and gratitude! We started this GB journey together very early on. He has led and served with such humility and grace, with SO many young lives being impacted through his words and actions. It's not "Goodbye", but a transition to a new chapter, as you'll still be around. But in this moment, we honour and thank you Mr Neely!" Kieran Joseph, Founder and CEO

🗣️💐 Feel free to comment below to thank and honour Scott for who he is or what he's done for Guardian Ballers!

What a night !💫

Our first ever Hoops, Food & Voice event was unreal, the energy was next-level and honestly hard to put into words. We had over 60 amazing participants, including loads of new Guardian Ballers… and to all of you, we just want to say: welcome to the GB family! 💜

Here’s a first look at some moments from last night. More pics dropping tomorrow, make sure you’re following so you don’t miss the next HFV date!

A massive thank you to National Lottery Community Fund for helping give these young people a space to hoop, connect, make friends, and feel part of a community. 🙌💜

70% of young people experiencing mental health difficulties do not receive appropriate support early enough.**

Parents, teachers, and carers often find themselves unsure of what to do when a young person is struggling — and this is where can make a life-changing difference.🌟

Referring a young person to GB is giving them the opportunity to discover peace, confidence, and happiness that can positively shape their future.🎯
