Mecca Bingo launches ‘Everyone Deserves a Christmas’ to help those in need

Mecca Bingo Wrexham has launched its second ‘Everyone Deserves a Christmas’ appeal to help individuals and families in need this Christmas.

Last year, the organisation partnered with 52 charities to raise £185,000 in cash and hamper donations, providing 3,800 hampers across the UK.

The UK-wide Christmas appeal involves all 71 clubs across the country and aims to provide hampers to those most in need, allowing them to go through the Christmas season more comfortably.

This Christmas, Mecca is upping its efforts and going above and beyond, especially in a year which has shown food poverty to be an ever-increasing issue.

A new goal was set, with the aim of providing 4,000 hampers across the UK, each valued at £50 – a total amount of £200,000.

Mecca Bingo Wrexham is getting involved again this year and is raising money for Rock Chapel, one of the charities at the heart of its community. This charity will distribute Mecca’s food and gift hampers to the people that it works with through its church community.

Now customers as well as local residents and businesses are being asked to come forward and show their support. The local community can help both in club and online by dedicating time, donating goods such as non perishable food and drink or unopened toiletries or by donating money.

All donations will allow the creation of Christmas hampers, which will be distributed by the local charity to those most in need.

William Etherington, general manager at Mecca Wrexham, said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing back Mecca’s Everyone Deserves a Christmas appeal for a second year and to be helping those who need it the most within our community.

“Christmas should be magical and we are determined to make it as special as can be for as many as possible.

“We just couldn’t do this without the incredible support of our customers and local supporters – we know this year that people will exceed all expectations with their generosity”
