Foundation celebrates charity volunteers

Foundation of Light will be celebrating the achievements and positive work of its volunteers during this year’s Volunteers’ Week. From Saturday June 1st to Friday June 7th, Sunderland AFC's official charity will be showcasing some of those who give their time to improve lives across the North East and thanking them for their amazing contribution. The Foundation will also be raising awareness of the various volunteering roles available within the organisation and at the Beacon of Light.

Our volunteers are an invaluable part of the Foundation's work in local communities. On behalf of everyone at the Foundation and Beacon of Light I would like to say a big thank you to our volunteers for their time and incredible effort.

Nicky Butler, Volunteer and Training Coordinator

Opportunities available at the Foundation include roles within the Sport and Play, World of Work, Health and Wellbeing and Education zones as well as in the Events department and front of house positions. Each year the Foundation hosts a Volunteers Fayre at the Beacon of Light to give people the chance to discover more about the organisation, how they can help and meet the team.
