Bumper Fan Zone for Foundation of Light Matchday
Foundation of Light are collaborating with ATW Tree and Landscaping to host a bumper Fan Zone for Foundation of Light Matchday.
Beacon of Light’s Yard Nine café is introducing a special offer to Sunderland AFC supporters.
Any supporter who purchases a ticket for the Foundation of Light’s Ha’way and Play lottery can then use their ticket to claim a 10% discount* at Yard Nine.
Make sure to keep hold of your matchday lottery ticket as the reverse features a voucher to claim your discount by the end of February.
The Yard Nine café is inspired by Sunderland’s shipyards and rich industrial history, paying homage to the Beacon’s proximity to the ninth of the 76 shipyards once based along the River Wear.
What sets Yard Nine apart from other coffee shops is that all profits directly support the Foundation of Light, the charitable arm of Sunderland AFC.
This means that with every purchase from Yard Nine, you are supporting life-changing work across the region, from making sure every child has access to sports activity, to helping economically inactive adults into employment.

With a diverse, locally sourced menu, featuring a selection of sweet and savoury snacks and hot and cold beverages, Yard Nine is a perfect pit stop for a coffee break or leisurely lunch.
Don’t believe us? Grab a Ha’way and Play lottery ticket at the match for a chance to win £1,000 and take advantage of your 10% Yard Nine discount.
*Offer excludes alcoholic drinks
