Redburn Bingo Group run a weekly bingo session on Thursday afternoons in Redburn Community Hub. This activity provides a regular fun and friendly social event in a safe and familiar social setting. The bingo sessions help to connect community members and reduce social isolation and loneliness. Members of the local community come along to the bingo sessions each week to have fun, meet new people and have a chat. The bingo is very popular and well attended.
Project Description
The weekly bingo sessions in Redburn Community Hub help to build community spirit and improve the health and wellbeing of local community members. The sessions are inclusive and welcoming and are regularly attended by a large number of people from the local community. The bingo sessions provide a safe and friendly social space for people to have fun and meet new people.
We are seeking PB funding to enable us to purchase items that will enhance the experience of community members taking part in the weekly bingo sessions. We want to buy a new bingo machine that is more efficient and has a large digital display to help make the bingo numbers called accessible to all participants. We also want to buy bingo dabber pens and bingo books to enable up to 100 community members to take part in the weekly bingo sessions. We also require an electrical extension for the bingo machine. In addition, we are seeking funding to purchase vouchers to enable us to provide a wide variety of quality bingo prizes for the weekly sessions.
