We’d like you to be polite. We know that sometimes things don’t go to plan and you’ll want to flag things up with us.

We won’t tolerate swearing, threats or abuse online just as we don’t offline, any posts or comments that a defamatory or slanderous against an individual or those that will cause offence.

We’d like you not to spam or advertise. Our social media channels aren’t the place for followers to advertise. Making the same points over and over - otherwise known as spamming - isn’t for our social media. You’ll be better off contacting us another way so we can look into the issue for you. We’d like you to not over-share. If you’ve got an issue we’ll happily look into it. But be careful not to post private information about yourself or others. Of course, most of the time social media works fine but on the rare occasion where you don’t stick to the house rules, we use profanity filters which automatically hide offensive posts or comments, and we reserve the right to delete offending content and block you from contacting us through that route. We also reserve the right to contact the police.

Sunderland Sports Fund is back!

After a pause during the pandemic, a much-loved local charity supporting young athletes and athletes with disabilities has been revived – thanks to new funding from the Martin Laing Foundation and Sunderland City Council.

From coaching costs to travel and equipment, the fund helps remove barriers so Sunderland’s sporting talent can thrive. And with new investment, it’s now also supporting local coaches to inspire even more people to get into sport. 🙌

Over 670 grants have already been awarded across sports like swimming, boxing, basketball and skiing — and now you could be next.
