“This is an historic project for the Foundation and we’re delighted to have UEFA Foundation – who provide support for projects all over the world – alongside us to help make it happen.” said Sarah Medcalf, Deputy Head of the Newcastle United Foundation. “Our disability programme has gone from strength to strength and we will continue to offer children and adults, who haven’t always had the right opportunities, a safe environment to develop and enjoy football.”

“UEFA Foundation’s work has been inspirational and they share the same mission as we do, to help people be more active, to learn, to be more employable, to make connections and to reach their potential.”

“We are delighted to be enhancing the support we are providing the Newcastle United Foundation for their new ambitious and revolutionary facility and look forward to seeing its development over the coming months.” added Urs Kluser, General Secretary of the UEFA Foundation for Children.
