Capitalise on the reach and presence of the Foundation of Light and Sunderland AFC across the local communities to engage with people, work to destigmatise mental health and encourage participation in the 'Game of II Halves' project. Look to recruit, equip and support a team of mental health ambassadors to promote positive resilience messages and motivate long-term participation in activities that sustain and build upon the positive outcomes made.

Following a stint at the retirement game, I now work as a volunteer at the Foundation of Light, the official charity of Sunderland AFC. I work in support of the charities vision to create better opportunities and better lives for our communities. Supporting individuals and families to live healthier and happier lives, enabling more vibrant and respectful communities.
