More Than a Game: SAFC Stars shine spotlight on mental health
Luke O'Nien and Dan Ballard swapped the training pitch for the Beacon of Light for a special session highlighting the importance of mental health and talking openly.
Thursday will mark a new chapter for the home of the Foundation, with the Beacon of Light set to host its first ever set of movie nights.
The Beacon’s ‘Warm Space’ area, which is supported by Sunderland City Council, will show ten Disney classics across ten successive days, offering free entry to all families who attend.
Films will start at 4.30pm on weekdays, while weekend showings will start at 11am.
Not only will you receive free entry to the viewing, attendees will also receive hot chocolate and popcorn free of charge.
Ahead of the launch on 12 January, Jemma Dowson, Head of Events & Beacon of Light General Manager said: “We are very excited to welcome children and families to the Beacon to experience some Disney movie classics.
“Not only is it a great opportunity for young people to enjoy some of their favourite movies, it also allows the local community to see what our warm space is all about and more importantly, what it has to offer.”
Over the coming weeks, Beacon of Light will be revealing further movie schedules with different movie themes on the horizon.
