House! What an absolutely brilliant evening we had at SCB’s very first Bingo Night at our new Gateway workshop.
As this was our first test event in the new workshop, we weren’t quite sure how it would go… but judging by the laughter, the atmosphere and the incredible support, we’d definitely call it legs eleven out of ten!
The biggest full house of thanks has to go to Claire Blunstone and Kareena Cullen, who worked tirelessly to organise the entire event. From gathering prizes and selling tickets to setting everything up and keeping the evening running so smoothly, this really was their event. They put in an enormous amount of work behind the scenes, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything they did.
A thank you also to Vicki from Ground Control Ltd,, who kindly helped to sell raffle tickets, while Ground Control Ltd generously boosted the evening’s fundraising with an additional £500 donation.
We’re delighted to say that together we raised an amazing £1,633.30!
Every penny raised will help us continue creating new opportunities and experiences for our trainees, whether that’s through learning, equipment, activities or special events that enrich life at SCB.
After such a successful first event, we’re already looking at what we can do next! We’d love to build on this and bring more fun community events to SCB in the future.
Got an idea? We’d love to hear it! Whether it’s another bingo night, a quiz, race night, games evening or something completely different, pop your suggestions in the comments. If there’s enough interest, we’ll see what we can make happen.
Finally, thank you to everyone who came along, bought tickets, donated prizes, volunteered, laughed, cheered and made the evening such a success. We’d also like to extend a special thank you to our fantastic prize donors: Bentley Motors, Mrs Darlingtons, Crewe Alexandra Football Club, Mornflake, Passage To India, Snugburys Ice Cream, Darts Corner, #LeprinoFoods. Your generosity helped make the evening even more special for everyone involved.
Until next time… keep your eyes down and your dabbers ready!
