It’s an honour to be an ambassador for the Building a Stronger Britain Together programme. Football has the power to have a positive influence on our communities promoting the shared values that underpin our society; mutual respect, democracy, free speech, tolerance and opportunities for all.
Luke O’Nien, Sunderland AFC midfielderDave Jeffries, Foundation of Light Skills Lead added: “We work in the heart of the city and deliver in a range of communities. By delivering programmes such as Building a Stronger Britain Together we hope to combat and tackle stigma and discrimination and bring communities closer together.” In October, Foundation of Light hosted a Black History Month event at the Beacon of Light alongside Young Asian Voices and the BAME network in Sunderland.
