Mecca Bingo Birkenhead is launching Everyone Deserves a Christmas appeal to help individuals and families in need this Christmas.

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

This year, Mecca Bingo Birkenhead will be raising money for Wirral Foodbank, a charity that works to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

Terence O'Donnell, General Manager at Mecca Birkenhead, 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.”

Mecca’s UK-wide Christmas appeal involves all 71 clubs across the country and aims to provide hampers to those most in need.

This year Mecca aim to provide 4,000 hampers across the UK, each valued at £50

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.
