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.
