North East Sport is a not for profit community organisation based at Monkwearmouth Academy in Sunderland. We started in 2009 and now work with over 820 young people every week, but we’re much more than a sports club. Sport is how we get people through the door. What happens after that is about community.

We run toddler football on Saturday mornings, North East Sport Youth FC teams for boys and girls, school holiday clubs and beach club in the summer. We also run digital health hubs for all ages, and the Fulwell Ranger and Southwick Ranger programmes, where local people look after their own green spaces. None of it would happen without our 40 plus adult volunteers, most of whom started as parents on the sideline.

We chase funding wherever we can so we can offer free spaces, and we keep our prices as low as possible so no family in Sunderland is priced out. Our coaches and volunteers are local, DBS checked and trained in safeguarding.

To get involved, as a participant, a parent or a volunteer, email support@northeastsport.co.uk or call 07883 885708.

What clients say about our service

Our son has attended a number of sessions over the last few years and always has a great time. The staff are friendly and approachable, sessions are always fun and we hear about it for days afterwards which is lovely. It gives the children independence and we are very relaxed to leave him in the safe hands of North East Sport staff. Our youngest attended her first session over Easter and loved it too, overall a fantastic opportunity for the younger generations to enjoy!

Parent, weekly sessions and holiday club

Hardworking, passionate and enthusiastic team. All working to make a difference to the children who play football by providing training, encouragement and support to coaches and families. Massive responsibilities in organising all of the schedules for training and team games in all weather and keeping everyone up to date via social media. On top of all of this they even find time to help the local community in so many ways. It’s a fantastic club that’s made a difference to my family, my school and my community. We can’t thank them enough

I can not praise NE Sport holiday camps enough! Not only are the holiday camps a fantastic offer as a parent navigating childcare during the holidays (absolute life saver!), my son absolutely adores the team. The staff and volunteers are fantastic, always a great variety of activities and the mix of ages is great for socialising. My little boy is 6 and loves getting to hang out with other kids and making new friends. He asks every holiday if he’s going to camp and is always raring to go. He comes away happy, chatting away about his day and a little worn out from such a good day. “It’s great!”

Booking was simple, but you have to be quick due to popularity. Confirmation emails are prompt and additional correspondence explain the variety of activities that children can do. Additionally, there is a clear explanation as to what is required and expected including pick up, drop off and safeguarding duties. Meadow enjoyed her day. Thank you

Its an amazing club! My son has attended the last two summer holidays and this year my daughter attended aswell. The children absolutely love it. No matter what the weather they have a great time. Painting, playing games, fishing, playing on the beach and in the sea; they come home exhausted and smiling. Also the fact it is free! Amazing! Have recommended this club to many Mams and I will certainly be sending my children next year.Thanks Peter and Lindsay!
