Banbury families invited to charity bingo night in support of Macmillan Cancer Support

The Family Bingo Night will take place at 6.30pm on Friday, October 9.

It has been organised by Banbury and District Chamber of Commerce board directors Lisa-Marie Mallier and Emma McGregor.

The pair are also taking on the HYROX Birmingham challenge on November 1 and are aiming to raise at least £800 for Macmillan Cancer Support through their charity places.

Tickets cost £5 per player and include all standard bingo games throughout the evening.

There will be multiple rounds of bingo, prizes and a charity raffle, with an optional cash flyer available for players aged 18 and over. Parents can bring children who are not playing free of charge.

Lisa-Marie said: “We want to organise something that would bring the local community together and give families a fun, affordable evening out.

“At just £5 per player, we hope lots of people will join us and help us raise at least £800 for Macmillan. Every ticket, raffle entry and donation will take us closer to our target, while giving local families a brilliant night out.”

Almost 3.5 million people are currently living with cancer in the UK, highlighting the continued need for Macmillan Cancer Support’s practical, emotional and financial support.

Emma added: “Macmillan estimates that £815 could pay for a Macmillan Support Worker for one week, helping people living with cancer receive the support they need. That puts into perspective what we could achieve with the backing of the Banbury community.”
