Foundation of Light COO to sleep out at Stadium of Light to help tackle homelessness
Foundation of Light Chief Operating Officer Jamie Wright will join bosses from companies across the North East to take part in CEO Sleepout.
We have a long history of supporting people with disabilities and ensuring they still have opportunities to take part and excel in sport and education.“The EFL Day of Disabilities also links in with our Give a Quid for Social Isolation campaign, which aims to raise £30,000 to support a range of programmes which tackles loneliness in society. Studies suggest 85% of adults aged 18 to 34 with a disability report feeling lonely but by giving them the chance to take part in sessions like this we can tackle that and prevent social isolation.” Sunderland AFC’s Head of Supporter Engagement, Chris Waters, said: “The Foundation of Light’s support for the EFL’s Day of Disabilities, and their continued work across the community, is life changing for so many. “The Beacon of Light is a superb facility for sport and education, and everyone involved with the EFL’s Every Player Counts campaign will enjoy a rewarding and enjoyable experience. “All activities that are set up to improve the matchday experience at the Stadium of Light for all supporters are greatly appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming fans that take part in the event to home games in the near future.” Donations to the Give a Quid campaign can be made in person at the Beacon of Light, or online via the Foundation of Light website.
