2025 is a momentous year for Beacon as we will be celebrating our 150th anniversary. This milestone is not just a celebration of our history but an opportunity to create lasting change for people living with sight loss in our region.
Since we were founded in 1875 as Wolverhampton Society for the Blind, we have been pioneers in supporting the sight loss community and have remained at the forefront of Black Country innovation, from opening one of the UK’s first charity shops in 1899 to delivering innovative, life-changing services today.
This special event will be a highlight of our 150th celebrations, offering an elegant evening of entertainment and an excellent opportunity to support Beacon’s vital services.
Event details:
Three course dinner:
Indulge in a delicious three-course dinner featuring an exquisite starter, a perfectly crafted main course and a decadent dessert. Enjoy great food and company while supporting an amazing cause.
