A DRUMCHAPEL bingo club is to reward the hard work of local carers with a free party.

The evening, which will take place on Saturday, October 28, from 6.30pm, has been organised to tie in with the changing of the clocks, which go back one hour at 2am that night.

Dubbed Care O’Clock, the party aims to highlight how little time unpaid carers have for themselves and provides them with an extra free hour thanks to the clock’s change.

Mecca Bingo Drumchapel created the event as part of its charity partnership with Carers Trust, which works to support unpaid carers across the UK.

As well as their free entertainment, carers will also receive a chocolate gift in honour of National Chocolate Day, which coincides with the event Duncan Anderson, club manager at Mecca Drumchapel, said: “The team here works tirelessly to support carers and this is one of many activities we take part in to offer them a big thank you for the fantastic work they do.

“Britain’s unpaid carers work incredibly long hours, usually to assist a loved one. We’re looking forward to welcoming local carers to the club and offering them a free evening of well-deserved fun.”

Details of where to get in touch with them are available on the Carers Trust website: carers.org.
