Season of success and growth for Female Football Pathway
Foundation of Light’s women’s and girls’ football programme enjoyed a season of unprecedented development and success in 2024-25.
It’s been a tough, but enjoyable day – the company has been great too and everyone has been very supportive.
Julio ArcaSean Thompson, MD at Ashford Orthodontics, who has completed several of the rides on a tandemn with his wife Allison, added: “The weather had a bit of everything and there were one or two steep climbs that tested us all, but we knew it was going to be tough – and it was.” Each cyclist is asked to raise £1,650 towards the cost of the ride, with all proceeds going toward the Foundation. The ride is being supported by international building materials distributor Grafton Group plc, whose managing director Gavin Slark was born and brought up in Sunderland and logistics specialists OSE European. The Foundation of Light was established in 2001 and uses the power of football to involve, educate and inspire people of all ages and from all backgrounds to realise their potential.
