Fixtures Breakfast is always one of our most popular events, even more so as this is the first time we've held it at the Beacon. We would like to thank Jack Ross for taking to the stage in his first public appointment and all of our supporters who helped us usher in the new season.
Phil King, Beacon of Light General ManagerThe Beacon of Light is a vibrant centre of opportunity located next to the Stadium of Light and the Aquatic Centre which provides first-class sporting facilities alongside world-class education and training opportunities for all. The main staircase, running through the heart of the building and joining the Street Level to the Rooftop 4G Football Barn via 73 steps, gives local businesses the chance to make their mark and a difference to the people of the North-East forever. Former SAFC captain Kevin Ball added: "I've been an ambassador for the Foundation for a few years now and I've had the pleasure of meeting the people whose lives they’ve changed and seen this building go from vision to reality. "Our charity is setting the standards for other football club worldwide and there's still a chance to get involved. I urge everyone who can to become part of this fantastic success story by purchasing a step which will be seen by 6,000 people every week."
