I'm extremely grateful for their support - Sir Bob Murray thanks the volunteers at SAFC's official charity the Foundation of Light

Sir Bob met with the volunteers for an informal chat to say thank you to those who give their time to support the work of SAFC’s official charity.

Over 100 volunteers work with Foundation of Light, delivering more than 10,000 hours per year of impact.

From grassroots football coaching to assisting in teaching, volunteers provide essential support to the delivery of the Foundation’s life-changing programmes.

After talking to the volunteers, Sir Bob Murray said: “It was wonderful to meet some of the incredible people who devote their time to help the Foundation of Light.

“We are extremely grateful for the crucial support that volunteers provide our staff in the delivery of our programmes and events.

“The enthusiasm and determination to support a life-changing charity was clear to see in everyone in the room as well as the care they have in their community. It was a privilege to spend some time with them."

The Foundation of Light uses the power of football to invest in local communities to “improve the education, health, wellbeing and happiness of people”.
