Elite Welfare For Elite Performance

Founded by former Premier League player Vincent Pericard, EWM is the first and only independent welfare organisation of its kind within Sport, aiming to utilise Sport Professionals social environment to maximise performance, development and potential by ensuring their personal and family’s welfare.

We understand the need for Sport Professionals to be able to speak with someone impartial yet someone they can also trust; someone who has experienced exactly what they are going through, yet knowing that they can seek support without having their professional or public position being compromised or scrutinised.

Situated in Cheshire, Capesthorne Hall offers the opportunity for Sports Professionals and their families to retreat to a sanctuary of peaceful tranquillity. Although EWM is primarily focused around professional football players, our unique and tailored model is transferrable to suit all ranges of levels within Sports.
