Youth and community

More than a football club

Sport is often the way in. What keeps young people coming back is somewhere safe to be, adults who know their names, and a job to do. Here's everything else we do in Sunderland.

Being there for the whole community

When Covid hit, more than forty of our volunteers stepped up for the neighbours who needed it most. We did the shopping, collected prescriptions, kept gardens tidy, walked dogs and cooked meals. Nobody asked us to. It's what you do.

The crisis has passed, and the habit hasn't. We still do weekly check ins, help with shopping, and offer a listening ear. Gardening, litter picking, corporate volunteer days, coastal walks: you name it, we do it.

Thank you to every volunteer who makes that possible.
