Buzz Bingo & Stroke Association Celebrate £300,000 Charity Milestone

A long-running charity partnership between Buzz Bingo and the Stroke Association has now surpassed £300,000 in funds raised.

The duo had originally set a £200,000 target for their three-year collaboration, crediting the achievement to “the generosity and commitment of Buzz Bingo’s colleagues and customers across the UK.”

Dominic Mansour, CEO of Buzz Bingo, said: 

It’s been humbling to play a part in raising £300,000 for the Stroke Association. This achievement isn’t just about the money – every sponsored walk or run, every tea party and charity bingo game has built connections in our community. Bingo itself can support motor and cognitive skills, so supporting stroke survivors in their recovery and giving them a place to socialise felt like a natural fit.

“One of my favourite moments was seeing our exclusively designed charity dabbers in action when a local stroke support group played bingo – a fun project that helped raise thousands while sparking conversations about stroke.”

The partnership began in 2022, with both organisations sharing a commitment “to help tackle the social isolation experienced following stroke” and a joint mission of “nurturing communities and creating spaces where people feel connected.”

Juliet Bouverie OBE, CEO of the Stroke Association, added:

“Over 85,000 people survive a stroke every year in the UK, but surviving a stroke is just the start of a long and gruelling recovery journey. Anyone – mums, dads, grandparents, young people, even children – can have a stroke, and its impact is traumatic. We are incredibly grateful to Buzz Bingo and its customers for their outstanding support during the three-year partnership. The fantastic amount raised is testament to their creativity and commitment.

“These funds will help us to provide tailored support to tens of thousands of stroke survivors each year, fund vital scientific research, and campaign to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke.”
