Gala Bingo’s members and staff across the UK raised £223,134.13 for Comic Relief this year by hosting a wide range of humorous events.
The managers of the three West Yorkshire clubs dressed up as chickens for a sponsored cycle, Cumbernauld’s manager was auctioned off as a cleaner and Leicester’s manager was “gunged” on stage in his club.
Funds were also raised through Comic Relief games online at galabingo.co.uk and on Gala TV available on Sky channel 841. Celebrity Sharon Osbourne hosted the first dedicated Comic Relief bingo game online.
