A YORK bingo club is celebrating after helping to reach a fundraising milestone of £1,500,000 for the Carers Trust charity.

The partnership between Carers Trust and the Rank Group, which owns Mecca and Grosvenor Casinos, first began in February 2014. Since then, its employees from Mecca Bingo in York have raised as much money as possible by taking part in events.

Mark Dadson, general manager at Mecca York, said: “We’re incredibly proud of the efforts of all or our team members and most importantly, our customers and everyone in York who has dug deep into their pockets to help us to support such a worthwhile charity.”
