Bingo fans at the Mecca Bingo at Brierley Hill have raised more than £200 for Marie Curie Cancer Care fund with their ‘Blooming Great Tea Party’

The club sold cups of tea and slices of Victoria sponge cake for £1, with 35p from each sale being donated to Marie Curie, raising over £210 for the cause.

Prior to the party the Club manager, Terry Connelly, told the local paper: “We are very excited to be holding a Blooming Great Tea Party to support our charity partnership with Marie Curie Cancer Care and hope that many of our club customers will come and join in the fun."

Meccabingo.com is proud to support Marie Curie Cancer Care as the charity of the year.

Your support will help Marie Curie nurses care for terminally ill people across the UK in their homes. Just £20 provides one hour of nursing care. You can see all the ways in which you can help to support the charity through Mecca by visiting the online bingo site.
