About us
We want to empower a generation of “Guardian Ballers” that are happy and healthy, so they can transform the world around them. Guardian Ballers focuses mainly on young people and adults aged 10-25 to empower them to BALL-BE-BETTER. BALL | Enabling engagement, progression and enjoyment in the Sport of Basketball. BE | Educating about mental and emotional well-being, exploring the value of character and identity, as a foundation for impacting current and future life circumstances. BETTER | Facilitating practical experiences with local charities and community organisations, to discover how to make the world better. We work with young people from areas of socio-economic disadvantage, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnicities backgrounds and a minimum of half of our participants are Female. We target such populations (not excluding others) to tackle disparities in mental health, physical activity and societal-leadership statistics. We exist to empower young people to become happy, healthy and community-transformers. There are thousands of young people who can be magnetised by Basketball then led to greater wellbeing and to have a greater impact on their own community.

Director of Operations / Deputy CEO at Coventry and Warwickshire Mind Member of the Board of Trustees at SJMT
I am proud to support and share this Podcast ‘The Pursuit of Peace’ Back in July 24 I attend Twentytwo Productions, Invited by Kieran Joseph founder of Guardian Ballers UK. This was one of those taking a leap of faith moments, trying something I wouldn’t usually do and as always, I walked away feeling blessed. My reflections - We wear many hats walking through life and it can be exhausting, especially when we are in spaces that require us to ‘perform’ or to move away from our authentic selves, so reflecting on what peace means to me is an important discussion, an important part of my life that I try to prioritise as often as I can.
"That's where you're supposed to be, otherwise you wouldn't be there." 📍🧬 EPISODE 5 with Alethea (Leeya) Balbuena is LIVE! 🚨 Joining Kieran in the studio is Alethea Balbuena- a guest who operates in ‘influential spaces’, who is raising the profile for ‘less familiar faces’. Throughout the episode, we explore what peace means to Alethea as she journeys in Mental Health, Charitable and Society-Shaping Spheres. As the Deputy CEO of Coventry and Warwickshire Mind and Honorary Doctorate at Arden University, Alethea centres her work within her Christian Faith, with a heart for equity which drives her to “Level the Playing Field”, especially in areas of Racial Identity, Gender and Poverty. As the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate for her “Contributions to Mental Health Services and Social Justice”, her insights and perspectives breath wisdom. 🎧 This The Pursuit of Peace Podcast is a Twentytwo Productions original podcast, empowered by Guardian Ballers UK #thepursuitofpeace #peace #podcast #wellbeing #wellness #mentalhealth #charity #selfcare #mindset #mindfulness #inspiration #therapy #self #society #contentcreator #newepisode #explorepage #foryoupage
