Foundation of Light introduces transformational place-based football academy at Consett AFC
The pioneering academy, based at the football club’s Belle View Stadium, aims to remove long-standing barriers to education and high-performance coaching.
Foundation of Light welcomed more than 500 children to follow in the footsteps of their heroes and play at the Stadium of Light.
The ‘Play on the Pitch’ day with Sunderland AFC’s official charity allowed children aged 3-14 to experience playing in a Premier League stadium and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Each child was given an opportunity to get an individual photograph in the stadium ahead of their session.
These photos can be downloaded via Facebook where you will find an album for each session.
To download your child’s photo, simply open the album for their session time, find their photo, click the three dots, and then click ‘download’.

Foundation of Light, the official charity of Sunderland AFC, has made significant savings on energy costs thanks to a new partnership with Sunderland-based energy broker, Utilink Consulting.
Foundation of Light has recognised Isla Cameron as one of its Wear 25 award winners, following her call-up to the England U13s Deaf Futsal team.
