The Shining Lights Centre has been a vital part of the Sutton community since its opening on the March 14 2005 hosting a wide range of clubs and activities for the community. Steve Leonard, Saints Community Development Foundations Director said: “After a long Covid delayed process, Saints Foundation can finally announce a partnership with Sutton Manor Primary school which sees us taking over the Shining Lights Centre in Sutton Manor. The schools Headteacher Monica Gladman has made no secret of the fact that they school and its governors lead by Mr Ernie Benbow wanted the centre back open with community-based activities. I am glad to say that we are in a position, after discussions with most of the previous user groups to have them back on board and starting back very shortly if not already.
