Sunderland AFC stars visit to kick off Region of Sport
The Region of Sport is a collaboration between the North East’s top five sports foundations to get more young people moving and participating in sport.
We'd like to thank The Baily Thomas Charitable Fund for their support in helping us reach more young people and their families through Making Moves. Many schools find it difficult to support pupils with disabilities and engage their parents, but we are able to develop bespoke lesson plans which maximises the benefit to their young people, enhance their wider curriculum and provide progression opportunities.
Kevin Darke, Inclusion CoordinatorEach year, Foundation of Light helps over 2,000 young people and adults with disabilities across the North-East enjoy sport, an active lifestyle and build friendships. Supported by the Premier League/BT Sports Disability Fund and SCS Sofas, Making Moves delivers fun, exciting and challenging sessions and activities which help develop gross motor skills, balance and coordination as well as encouraging teamwork, communication and confidence. The Foundation also hosts monthly 'Disability Champions' workshops in partnership with Linrow Education to provide those working with young people and adults with a greater understanding of disabilities and mental health issues.
