Gala Bingo to raise £1million for charity
17th July, 2008
Gala Bingo has announced a special programme with the aim to raise £1million for their chosen charity over the next 18 months.
Employees at Gala Bingo, part of the Gala Coral Group Limited, voted for the Sue Ryder Care charity to be the one to benefit from the move. The charity works with seriously and terminally ill people, along with their friends and family across Europe. They care for sufferers of cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, strokes, Parkinson's Disease, Motor Neuron Disease, Huntington's Disease, brain injury and dementia.
Business Development Manager for Sue Ryder Care, Bridget Auger, said: “We want to increase the hours of care and support we provide from four million to ten million a year.
“We’re excited about the potential of the link-up with Gala Coral because of the reach of its retail network and the dedication of its employees who voted us as their charity.”
Gala Bingo told how it would be raising the funds through its 157 land-based bingo clubs, along with its online bingo and online casino sites, GalaBingo.co.uk and GalaCasino.co.uk.
Chief Executive Officer for Gala Coral Group, Neil Goulden, commented: “Everyone at Gala Coral is delighted to be associated with our chosen charity, Sue Ryder Care, and the outstanding work that they carry out.
“We have a long history of raising money for a variety of good causes, now we are focusing on a nominated charity that the whole Group can support. We are positive that the Gala Coral teams will get behind the fundraising initiatives and help to raise as much money as possible.'
