A-Star is the brainchild of Fitz Hall, Ken Bonsu and Ronnie Wilson and was set up with the aim of encouraging young people to express themselves in a positive manner and to make it possible to be around role models who do not glamorise crime, guns or drugs. With the death rate among teenagers increasing, the team wanted to do something. So the name A-Star was chosen (A-Star = every child is A-Star) which echoes the UK government initiative “Every child matters”. With those core beliefs in mind and heart, the guys set up a unique company that hopes to offer real opportunities for young people with a wide-ranging choice of activities to participate in and hopefully gain employment in a chosen field.

We believe that all young people have the potential to be ‘a star’. We attract and engage young people to participate in sport, music and the arts, using industry professionals to put on high quality recruitment events. From this initial engagement we offer a range of innovative programmes, support and mentoring designed to provide positive pathways to education, training, employment and healthy lifestyles.
