Today marks the first day of Spring and the International Day of Happiness, a reminder of growth, renewal, and the importance of well-being.

For many former athletes, retirement can feel like the opposite: loneliness, financial hardship, and uncertainty about the future. But Reposm is here to change that.

By providing affordable Sheltered Housing, we’re creating safe, supportive communities where former sportspeople can thrive, find purpose, and experience the happiness they deserve.

For many professional athletes, life after sport isn’t just about leaving the game, it’s about finding a new purpose, a new routine, and a sense of belonging.

More than half of former professional sportspeople have had concerns over their mental health or emotional wellbeing since retiring. (State of Sport Report, 2018)

Without the structure of training, competition, and a team around them, many face loneliness, financial struggles, and mental health challenges.

That’s why Reposm is working to provide Sheltered Housing, offering affordable, secure accommodation where former athletes can live in a supportive community.

Loneliness increases the risk of dementia by 40-60%, and the fear of loneliness raises it by an additional 10%.

At Reposm, we believe no retired sportsperson should face these risks alone. Our Sheltered Housing communities provide connection, support, and a sense of belonging—reducing loneliness and promoting better well-being.

50% of older people are less likely to feel lonely in Sheltered Accommodation.

For many former sportspeople, life after retirement isn’t easy. The end of a sporting career can bring loneliness, financial struggles, and declining mental health, with little to no safety net.

According to the State of Sport Report, commissioned by major UK Sports Associations:

🔹 More than half of former professional athletes have experienced concerns about their mental health or emotional wellbeing since retiring.
🔹 Many struggle to find purpose post-retirement, leading to depression, self-harm, addiction, and financial hardship.
🔹 While some sports provide welfare support, none offer Sheltered Housing, a proven way to reduce isolation and improve long-term health.

Evidence also shows that those in Sheltered Housing have a significantly lower incidence of dementia than the national average.

That’s why Reposm is committed to providing affordable housing for retired sportspeople, giving them a safe, supportive community to live in.

Help us build a future where no former sportsperson is left behind.
