Round-up: April's activity at the Foundation of Light
From inspiring participant stories to activity-packed half-term delivery, April 2024 was full of action at the Foundation of Light.
The course provided me with the knowledge to identify potential concerns in my own children and I feel better equipped to have open conversations with my son regarding mental health."We have a toolkit available to support him in terms of coping strategies and practical activities we can complete together. "I think you can sometimes forget that children are children and that they haven't yet developed coping strategies to support themselves or in fact process certain emotion and situations." Family Learning involves a range of classroom-based and physical activities delivered by highly qualified tutors and coaches, using the power of football and the Sunderland AFC brand to inspire and support families. At the end of the term, everyone who has taken part in the programme is invited to the Foundation of Light’s state of the art facility, the Beacon of Light, for a graduation event to celebrate their learning achievements. Learners will also be given the opportunity to progress into a range of Foundation of Light programmes, depending on your goals, including our Back in the Game employability programme, Apprenticeships and Traineeships. Donations to the #FoLGiveAQuid campaign can be made at the Beacon of Light and Stadium of Light, by texting FOLQUIDto 70085 or donate online via justgiving.com. *Costs £1 plus your standard message rate.
