New mental health drop-in sessions offer friendly support
People across Sunderland are being invited to access free, welcoming mental health drop-in sessions delivered by Foundation of Light's Game of II Halves programme.
Foundation of Light and Sunderland AFC have come together to launch Wear Winners, a brand-new prize platform giving supporters the chance to win unforgettable experiences while supporting life-changing work across the North East.
Designed to bring fans closer to the Club, Wear Winners offers exclusive prizes, from matchday moments to behind-the-scenes access, with every entry helping to fund programmes that make a real difference in local communities.
To celebrate the launch, supporters can now enter for the chance to win an unforgettable Sunderland AFC mascot experience during the 2026-27 Premier League season.
One lucky winner will see a young fan walk out at the Stadium of Light alongside the players.
The prize includes:
Every entry into Wear Winners directly supports Foundation of Light’s work across the region, helping young people develop skills, improve wellbeing, and create brighter futures.
With one in three children in Sunderland growing up in poverty, the need for that support has never been greater. By entering, supporters aren’t just chasing a prize, they’re backing something bigger.
People across Sunderland are being invited to access free, welcoming mental health drop-in sessions delivered by Foundation of Light's Game of II Halves programme.
