Staff and customers of the Gala Coral Group have raised over over £1 million for
Breakthrough Breast Cancer and £200,000 for the NSPCC.
The company recognised its
most successful fundraising staff at a recent ceremony.

Neil Goulden, Chief Executive of Gala Coral Group, said: “I am incredibly proud 
of our staff, especially their commitment to the community which is key to our business
philosophy. With Comic Relief a matter of weeks away I am really looking forward
to learning about how much Gala Bingo, galabingo.co.uk and Gala TV will manage to
raise. Having already raised £15,000 for Comic Relief to date I am hoping we can
exceed our own target of £150,000”.¨

This was the company’s first awards dinner that recognised the fundraising efforts
across its four divisions – Gala Casino, Gala Bingo, Gala E-commerce and Coral.
