Sunderland is very much a multicultural city and Invigor8 North East want to celebrate this diversity by helping to unite our young people through the medium of football. The beautiful game is the best way to bring people together, to work as a team, to build strong friendships and celebrate our array of cultures in this amazing city that we call home.
SO, WHAT IS UNITY THROUGH FOOTBALL?
Unity Through Football is a FREE programme of football, starting in October 2025, every Wednesday* from 4.00pm until 5.00pm. The sessions are for children aged 7-11 years old and are ran by a fully-qualified and experienced football coach.
