Bingo: Introduction

Bingo nights are sociable, fun and easy to run. Anyone can participate in charitable bingo, even children.

Created: 17 December 2007

Bingo can be run in clubs, local community halls, schools, and boardrooms (and Child playing bingolots of other places too). You can theme the event to suit your audience, or to the cause you support and teach your local community a little more about the work they do. Mix traditional number bingo with word and picture bingo to offer variety to your audience!

You need a good crowd, a charismatic bingo caller and a prize that will inspire a little healthy competition. Try adding food and drink to increase the funds you raise. Boost them further by getting your prizes and catering sponsored or donated.
