As well as currently supporting Emmanuel House, Mecca Bingo supports the Carers Trust. Sandra continued: “Our partnership with Emmanuel House will ensure that we raise awareness about the charity. All our money from our tip jars will go to Emmanuel House too.” Denis Tully is the CEO for Emmanuel House. He spoke about how things are at the charity.
