Foundation of Light.

Foundation works with those aged 18 months to 80, offering something for everyone; with programmes impacting on health, behaviour, attitude, skills, education and much more.

Established in 2001 by former Sunderland AFC chairman Sir Bob Murray CBE, our mission is simple: to use the power of football to tackle the North East’s biggest societal challenges, helping our communities to live happier and healthier lives.

Situated in the North East of England, we are based at the Beacon of Light in Sunderland and have outreach centres across the city, South Tyneside and County Durham.
