Foundation to host Business Breakfast on Technology for Business Growth
Foundation of Light's next Business Breakfast 'Technology for Business Growth' will take place on Thursday 11 December and you can book your place now.
The latest round of ‘Heart on your Sleeve’ Crowdfunder prize draws have gone online, with some great Sunderland AFC prizes up for grabs.
Donations earn entry into our draws for a selection of money-can’t-buy prizes – including a Jack Clarke signed shirt and print bundle, a 2014-15 SAFC home shirt signed by John O’Shea and Wes Brown, and a pair of boots signed by Luke O’Nien.
‘Heart on your Sleeve’ is a campaign encouraging Sunderland AFC supporters to come together to help and inspire one another.
North East football fans are notorious for their passion and SAFC’s official charity hopes to channel that energy to help make a difference to lives across Wearside.
Recent studies have shown that health inequalities in the UK are getting worse, with the gap between the North East and the South of England worsening.
People in communities across our region are living shorter lives; spending most of them in poor health.
Foundation of Light works with up to 20,000 young people and families every year and aim to tackle these issues, encouraging parents and grandparents to stay both physically and mentally active to inspire the next generation to do the same.
Through various initiatives and programmes and links with Sunderland AFC, the Foundation gives families the opportunity to access sports and fitness sessions, mental health resources and experience the facilities at the Beacon of Light community hub.
The price to enter each draw is as follows:
