Foundation of Light is encouraging more girls across Sunderland and the North East to get involved in sport this June through a packed month of football, activity and participation opportunities as part of Together Through Sport.
Foundation of Light’s 2026 Harrison Challenge winners have been crowned following the final presentations at the Beacon of Light.
One lucky winner will be chosen randomly to earn a free opportunity to follow in the footsteps of their Black Cats heroes and play at the Stadium of Light.
Budding young footballers will have the rare opportunity to play on the Stadium of Light pitch as Foundation of Light's Play on the Pitch returns!
Foundation of Light has joined a global movement for gender equity in sport alongside other organisations from across the North East of England.
Young people representing Foundation of Light joined hundreds from across England and Wales in this year’s Premier League Inspires Challenge celebration.
The innovative Early Years Football sessions delivered by Sunderland AFC’s official charity are designed to engage young children in the beginning of their football journey.
Showing his support for the campaign, the former Black Cats player, manager, and chairman said: “Sport should be for every child, not just the lucky few."
Fans from across the North East are celebrating after being named winners in the Together Through Sport prize draws.
