Foundation of Light’s Skills department has benefitted from a generous donation from BookTrust.
Shauni Sanderson from the BookTrust has kindly donated over 200 books to the Foundation of Light which will be used by Family Learning, English and Study Programmes.
BookTrust are the UK's largest reading charity, reaching millions of children every year with books, resources and support to get every child reading, regularly and by choice.
They are developing their work in the 0-14 age space and offer freely available resources - such as book recommendations, tools to support home and school engagement, and resources to help with reading aloud - via their website.
They sometimes offer surplus resources to support organisations that reach out to them, and after being contacted by Foundation of Light Functional Skills Tutor Amyleigh Treweeke, they were very keen to help out. The donation has provided valuable resources to various Foundation of Light programmes, as well as supporting BookTrust’s strategy to reach families and students who may not have the advantage of having their own books.
Whether your child is keen to develop their football skills or try out creative activities like baking and arts, our holiday courses offer a safe and friendly environment to keep youngsters engaged in the school holidays.
Foundation of Light is helping people turn New Year’s resolutions into lasting change in 2026, with health and wellbeing programmes supporting physical activity, mental wellbeing, and lifestyle changes.
While the Black Cats faced the Magpies for the first time in eight years in league competition, the official charities of the North East rivals united behind a greater cause.
