We’re delighted to announce our partnership with Foundation of Light, the official charity of Sunderland AFC, which has already delivered significant energy cost savings and community value.
Utilink, also a regional partner of Sunderland AFC, was selected over other consultancies after identifying a bespoke solution that included fixed agreements which have safeguarded the Foundation against energy market disruption.
The partnership has already delivered significant community value to the Foundation through savings and sponsorship, and marks the start of what we hope will be a long-standing relationship with the Foundation.
Foundation of Light’s Chief Commercial and Fundraising Officer, praised Utilink’s service:
“The expertise of the Utilink team has been invaluable to Foundation of Light as we navigated arranging new deals for our energy supplies. Every penny saved ensures we can invest more into our vital services to improve lives across the region, and to strike up a new partnership with a Sunderland-based organisation is an added bonus.”
Sam Riches, CEO of Utilink, added:
“As a local business and proud regional sponsor of Sunderland AFC, this partnership means a great deal to us. We’re excited to continue working closely with the Foundation of Light to support the incredible work they do in helping local people access opportunities and support across the region.”
“We’re delighted to support the Foundation of Light and to have played a part in reviewing and improving their energy services across gas and electricity. Through this work we’ve been able to help identify meaningful savings while also strengthening our wider relationship with the Foundation and the important initiatives they deliver in our community.
Supporting the Community and initiatives at Beacon of Light

As part of our collaboration, Utilink has supported initiatives at the Beacon of Light, including hosting staff training sessions and contributing to the Foundation’s Easter Egg donation drive.
Together, we donated over 100 Easter eggs from Utilink to children, young people, and families supported by the charity - part of a wider total of 500 eggs collected.
