We are proud to continue our partnership with Foundation of Light through the charity’s Tackle it and Making Moves programmes which have such a positive impact on hundreds of young people across our region.
Foundation of Light are a perfect match for ScS’s core values and culture through their passion and dedication to change lives for the better in our local communities.

“It is only through the ongoing support of community-minded businesses like ScS that we are able to offer children and young people opportunities to improve their lives.”
Making Moves, the Foundation’s disability coaching team, deliver fun, exciting and challenging sessions for children and adults to get involved in sport.
