It seems that the UK online bingo giant and bingo hall operator Gala Bingo are going to be part of a huge 18 month long fund-raising event on behalf of the Sue Ryder Care Charity.

The international bingo operate says that they are aiming to raise a great deal of money.  They are committed to using all their assets to raise money for the charity, and they have set a target amount of approximately £1 million pounds.  For people that don’t know about Sue Ryder, they are a charity that provide care and respite for those suffering from various serious illness and they also provide support to their families. 

The Gala Coral group selected the national charity after performing an employee vote which saw Sue Ryder Care come out as the favoured charity.  This fundraiser will be evident in all Gala Bingo divisions from their bingo / casino / e-commerce and international sides.

Gala Coral group’s Chief Exec said, “We are delighted to be associated, and that they are very proud to be able to try and help this national charity for the outstanding work they do."

Sue Ryder Care look set to increase their hours of care and support from four million to more than double this.  They hope that the link with Gala will help them and they thank the company and their dedicated employees who voted them as their number one charity.

If this is not an incentive to give the Gala Bingo a try – what is?  It is a nice change to see bingo companies supporting charities like this, and while some may label it as a publicity stunt, £1 million is £1 million and it should do a great deal towards helping people Sue Ryder Care.

Congratulations Gala Bingo & Sue Ryder Care Group
