Recent studies have shown that health inequalities in the UK are getting worse, with the gap between the North-East and the South of England worsening. People in communities across our region are living shorter lives and spending most of them in poor health.
The Foundation of Light works with up to 20,000 young people and families every year and aims to tackle these issues, encouraging parents and grandparents to stay both physically and mentally active to inspire the next generation to do the same.
Through various initiatives and programmes and links with Sunderland AFC, the Foundation gives families the opportunity to access sports and fitness sessions, mental health resources and experience the facilities at the Beacon of Light community hub.
* 'I'd Do It All Again' will be sold exclusively online at www.sirbobmurraybook.com and available to buy in-person from October 12 at the Beacon of Light and SAFC stores. 100 per cent of proceeds from sales of the autobiography will go to the Foundation of Light.
