Catering recruitment specialists Adkins and Cheurfi have pledged their support for Wearside and County Durham communities by announcing their Charity of the Year.
The Sunderland-based firm, which supplies high calibre catering professional to businesses across the North, has chosen Sunderland AFC charity Foundation of Light to benefit from their annual fundraising efforts.
Foundation of Light is one of the leading football foundations in the country, running a broad range of life-changing initiatives to communities in the North East.
Adkins and Cheurfi plan to run several their own fundraising events throughout the year with proceeds going to the Foundation.
We decided that we wanted to put something back into our community and were impressed by both the professionalism of Foundation of Light as well as the huge impact they have on our region.

Phil King, Foundation of Light Commercial Director added: “We’re delighted to be nominated as charity of the year for Adkins and Cheurfi. It’s thanks to community-minded business leaders like Melika and Dean that we’re able to help so many people.”
