Mecca Bingo is hoping to raise £250,000 during 2008/09 for the charity Whizz-Kidz through its Mecca Wheel Difference campaign. Graham Kelly, director of fundraising at Whizz-Kidz, said: "We are thrilled Mecca Bingo has chosen to support us. We believe the partnership will bring local people even closer together as they support disabled children to be independent. With about 70,000 kids nationally in need of vital mobility equipment, everyone will know someone in their community or family that could benefit from our work." Simon Wykes, managing director of Mecca Bingo, added: "We are looking forward to raising money to buy equipment that will give the children the fun and freedom they deserve."
