For 25 years, Foundation of Light has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with people across Sunderland, South Tyneside and County Durham, helping individuals and families build confidence, unlock potential and live healthier, happier lives. 

We’re building a time-capsule of memories, moments and breakthroughs from the last quarter-century. Whether you took your first steps in a Foundation programme, found lifelong friends, overcame hurdles you never thought you’d beat, or turned a talent into a career, this is your space.

What did the Foundation mean to you?
Big wins, small milestones, life-changing experiences, and even the funny moments… we want to hear them all.
