Wrexham’s Mecca Bingo helps make Christmas count for over 4,000 families in 2021

Wrexham’s Mecca Bingo helped deliver more than 4,000 hampers to those in need across the country over Christmas.

Launched in November 2020, the Everyone Deserves a Christmas appeal involved all 71 clubs across the country and online, aiming to provide hampers to those most in need, allowing them to go through the festive season more comfortably.

Last Christmas Mecca aimed to provide 4,000 hampers, valued at a total amount of £200,000 and called on its loyal customers, local residents and businesses for their support and donations to help local charities.

Support for the campaign lead to 4,130 hampers worth £206,500 created across the UK to support 68 charities, allowing more families to make this Christmas extra special.

Jonathon Swaine, Venues Managing Director at Mecca Bingo, said: “We are so thankful for the incredible support from our staff, customers and local communities, who once again rallied around to provide hampers and donated money, which have made a significant difference to over 4,000 families across the UK this Christmas.

“This year hasn’t been any easier than last year but we are proud to say that we could count on the heart-warming support from our bingo community for our second Everyone Deserves a Christmas appeal, which helped make this Christmas more special.”
