Dr McKenna and Ms Goss are members of a team who carried out a study to evaluate the social impact on parents and children of the Wider Family Learning Programmes run by Sunderland Football Club's Foundation of Light.
How does the club work with children and their families?
The Foundation uses the power of football to involve, educate and inspire children and their families across the North East through a number of programmes. The Wider Family Learning Programmes are run in early years settings and schools and throughout Sunderland, South Tyneside and County Durham.
For children aged three to five and their parents/carers, the Foundation of Light runs 12-week programmes Little Dribblers and Kickz, which link football and play with education.
