Sarah Medcalf (Newcastle United Foundation) presents NUCASTLE – Building a United Future

Sarah Medcalf, Deputy Head of Foundation at Newcastle United Foundation, is the next confirmed speaker at our 17th EFDN #Morethanfootball Conference in Liverpool on 9 & 11 May 2022.

With thirteen years of C-level experience in the charity sector and nine years in commercial sales and marketing roles, Sarah has a proven track record in providing leadership to deliver organisational growth, people management and collaborative stakeholder relations at the highest level.

She led the Project Team that successfully delivered the £8 million community hub NUCASTLE which opened in March 2022 securing capital investment, managing the construction phase and implementing a resource plan for 160 Foundation staff.

She currently holds a Non-Executive Director position and trustee of Concern Group, a national charity with headquarters located in the North East which provides specialist mental health services to its beneficiaries.

Newcastle United Foundation’s state-of-the-art facility NUCASTLE, powered by Newcastle Building Society, opened in March 2022 following its official opening event attended by NUFC legend Shola Ameobi, NUFC Manager Eddie Howe, key partners and the local community.

Just a five-minute walk from St James’ Park, this £8million facility with a rooftop pitch is the Foundation’s new home and is set to serve thousands of children, young people, adults and elderly residents from across the North-East of England.

”We invite you to learn more about the Foundation and our new home – why we built it, our five-year fundraising journey, 22 key stakeholders and partner that made it happen, its construction and social value, lessons learnt and how we will connect even more people with opportunities to improve their life chances.”
