Foundation of Light Golf Day returns for 2024
Foundation of Light Golf Day returns to the Prince Bishops' course at Ramside Hall on Thursday 25th July.
There's nothing like this in the city, or for miles around when you think about it in terms of scale, size and flexibility. I've been a Trustee of the Foundation for five years and we had this idea of one day having a flag ship world-class building and we're nearly there."There's going to be a real buzz about the place. There's going to be lots of diversity under one roof – it's pretty amazing. "The city should be really proud of [the Beacon]. We haven't just built it for the Foundation, we've built it for the City of Sunderland and it's a space for everyone to come and use."

Jamie Wright, Assistant Director of Sales and Delivery, added: "We want the Beacon to be a building for the North East. We want everyone from across the region to come and use the facilities. "It's not an elite environment, the Beacon is for everybody, but the facilities are elite."
