Sunderland AFC will celebrate 25 years of its official charity, Foundation of Light, with a special week of activity culminating in the dedicated Foundation Matchday against Leeds United.
Foundation of Light is helping people build their digital skills and confidence this October with free workshops as part of Get Online Week 2026.
Sunderland AFC will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Foundation of Light with a special Founders’ Week later this month.
The Together Through Sport campaign has seen major sports foundations across the North East collaborate alongside North East Housing Partnership to make sure every child gets the chance to play, grow and thrive.
Right now, too many young people miss out on the benefits of sport simply because families can’t afford sessions, kit or access.
Your donations will help provide free places on holiday courses and free sports sessions in school, ensuring no child is left on the sidelines.
