Sunderland AFC’s official charity is giving fans a new way to support the work they do.
The Friends of the Foundation membership scheme encourages supporters to help raise money for the Foundation through regular monthly giving and has a number of options depending on budget.
Packages start from just £2.50 per month and all members will receive regular newsletters, showing how their money is helping and have the chance to win signed SAFC merchandise.
Anyone who signs up before the end of March will also have the opportunity to win a mascot place when the Black Cats host Hull City on Good Friday (7 April), Foundation of Light’s dedicated matchday.
The Foundation of Light is financially independent of Sunderland AFC, raising over £4million each year through donations, grants, contracts and trading activities.
The charity works with thousands of families across the North East every year; tackling some of society’s biggest issues, with particular focus on helping those who are feeling the impact of the cost-of-living crisis.
No matter how small your donation, it can help make a big difference to help families who need it most.
