Wear 25: Emily turns passion for football into coaching experience
Emily Burns has become the Foundation of Light’s latest Wear 25 Award winner in recognition of her personal development and commitment as a volunteer across a range of events.
We’ve been very lucky to enjoy the support of our local business community in the planning, construction and now completion of the Beacon of Light. This Corporate Tournament is a great chance to enjoy our pristine, state-of-the-art facilities, meet and compete with other local businesses, and support the positive community work that will take place at the Beacon of Light helping hundreds of thousands every year.
Phil King, Beacon of Light General ManagerEntry costs just £550 (including VAT) per team and includes: team kit (top and shorts); team photo; post-tournament buffet and drinks service. A maximum of eight players are allowed per squad but there are no restrictions on how many teams each company enters – if you want to settle a grudge match with a different department this is your chance!
