Raising funds and awareness for local charities in Worcestershire
Medical Accident Group (MAG) is getting its dabbers at the ready in preparation for their Charity Bingo Gala with colleagues at MAG and Harrison Clark Rickerbys.
Taking place at the Worcester Riverside Rowing Club, the money raised from tickets will go towards local charities in Worcestershire which MAG has worked with for many years, including Headway Worcestershire and Footsteps.
It’s set to be a fantastic evening, with lots of prizes to be won and colleagues are looking forward to getting together with friends for a great cause.
