Beacon of Light hosts networking breakfast for Sunderland Business Improvement District
Beacon of Light proudly hosted the Sunderland Business Improvement District’s Business Breakfast.
Our very own coffee shop inspired by Sunderland's shipyards and local history. It's the perfect pitstop for refreshments or an ideal place to meet up with friends, family or clients. It's also open every SAFC home game as part of the matchday Fan Zone.

The Fans Supporting Fans mental health drop-in service for football fans is run by supporters' group the Sunderland Branch Liaison Council and local charity Washington Mind, in partnership with Foundation of Light.
Drop-in every home matchday from 12.30-2.30pm
The first of its kind - a dedicated women’s peer-to-peer support group.
The initiative aims to provide a safe and supportive space for women to openly discuss their experiences, challenges, and triumphs.
The free to attend drop-in group is open to all females aged 18+. 6.30 - 7.30pm and every Tuesday.
Through our World of Work Zone we help employers, young people and unemployed remove barriers to gaining skills and employment.
Working alongside schools, colleges and other agencies we promote a lifelong love of learning by promoting education through purpose-built classrooms, innovative teaching techniques and interactive spaces.
Through personalised, inspiring and authentic learning experiences our aim is to nurture talent, build character and help shape futures.

Since launching in 2018, the official matchday Fan Zone has become a key pre-match stop off, especially for Black Cats families with a range of activities available for both children and parents.
Beacon of Light was delighted to welcome almost 2,000 through its doors for the Utilita Football Festival.
Every penny we make at the Beacon is given back to the Foundation of Light, to help tackle some of our region's biggest challenges including social isolation, unemployment, food poverty and poor physical and mental health.
Thanks to you, this critical community work can continue.
