Happy 1st Birthday Sunderland Live!

What a brilliant first year it's been for Sunderland Live... We can certainly say time definitely flies when you're having fun, it seems like only yesterday that we were having our launch party and getting ready for a year of fab events.

In 2013/14 we held 32 fantastic events, celebrated 2 big anniversaries for the city (Sunderland turned 21 & Airshow 25), hired 2 new members of staff and drank endless cups of tea and coffee! It was a brilliant year and we're all ready well underway with this year's events and hiring two new further members of staff and looking for additional site crew!

To celebrate turning one year old, we managed to take a little time out for a piece of our giant Sunderland Live birthday cake and convinced some of the team to pose for a photo.

We want to say an absolutely massive thank you very much to everyone who has supported us over the past year and joined us at our events - we've loved every second and cannot wait to show you what we have planned for the year ahead!

Keep an eye on our twitter and facebook page for more birthday related updates.
