A BRIERLEY Hill bingo hall will be spreading the festive cheer this Christmas by collecting gifts for sick children.

Customers and employees are being asked to get involved in Mecca Bingo's Christmas appeal by takeing a gift tag from the High Street club's tree and buying a present for a youngster who will be spending the festive season at Dudley's Russells Hall Hospital.

The club's general manager, Natalie Holland, said: "We’re delighted to be supporting Russells Hall Hospital and hope to make this Christmas an extra special one for these children.”

Gifts must be returned to the club by Friday December 20 so they can be delivered to the children in time for Christmas morning.
