The Top Ten Bingo club in Spennymoor raised over £400 for charity last month.

Staff created two mixed teams for a five-a-side football match, which raised £130 for Children in Need. The score was Bingo Checkers 20, False Callers 13.

The club also netted £275.61, through a week of free bingo games and donations for Macmillan Cancer Relief, the charity which provides care for people living with cancer and support for their families.

The week was part of the bingo industry's Game for Life appeal, a three-year effort to raise £1m for the charity, which has collected £632,000 in less than two years.
