Sunderland AFC Women welcome Newcastle United to the Stadium of Light for a huge derby encounter, and the players have been out in the community to inspire young girls ahead of the game.
As Foundation of Light joined the rest of the UK in commemorating Armistice Day, we caught up with members of staff who have previously served in the Armed Forces.
Announced ahead of the Sunderland AFC Women v Newcastle United Women derby, it marks the first women-only North East Connected programme, building on the success of previous cohorts.

David's dedication has seen him named a Wear 25 Award winner, recognising his contribution to the programme over the past four years and his enthusiasm for getting back involved.
Generosity will provide another simple way for supporters, partners and communities to help fund that work and create brighter tomorrows across the North East.
A team of student volunteers who have been supporting the Foundation of Light’s holiday programmes have been recognised as the latest Wear 25 award winners.
