SAFC s Foundation of Light charity has partnered with housing association Livin to launch an employability project SUNDERLAND AFC’s official charity, Foundation of Light, is teaming up with housing association Livin to boost tenants job prospects. Through its Livin Futures employability service, the housing association has helped hundreds of people into a range of jobs, further education or training. In the past year, its employability team helped more than 140 tenants find work and supported others to improve their skills, apply for jobs and prepare for interviews. Livin aims to broaden its support to tenants with the help of community partner Foundation of Light, which it has previously worked with to deliver family programmes in schools and youth work in local communities.
With Sunderland AFCâs Papa Johnâs Trophy final against Tranmere Rovers just over two weeks away and with fans unable to attend the game in person, SAFC fans are coming together to mark the special occasion by starting a virtual ticket initiative to raise thousands for North East charities.
The idea was started by lifelong Sunderland fan Peter Richardson from Yorkshire who shared his thoughts on the Sunderland message boards. Shortly afterwards Black Catsâ supportersâ groups Red and White Army, the Senior Supporters Association and Sunderland AFC Branch Liaison Council (BLC) teamed up with the club and its official charity, Foundation of Light, to bring the idea to life and create special commemorative tickets, with all proceeds being donated to local charities.
