Bingo numbers added up to a successful evening of fundraising for five charities in Coventry and Warwickshire, including Safeline.

More than £2,000 in proceeds will be divided between Safeline, Coventry Women's Haven, Helping Hands Community Project in Leamington, The Mary Ann Evans Hospice in Nuneaton and Southam Fosse Foodbank.

It was a 'full house' for the firm's second successful bingo event, held at Cubbington Sports and Social Club earlier this month and organised by Alsters Kelley legal secretary Britanie Jeffery.

These charities are among those supported by Alsters Kelley solicitors, which was established in the 1980s and now has offices in Coventry, Leamington, Southam, Stratford and Nuneaton.

Britanie Jeffery said: "We had another great evening, lots of laughter – the room was full to capacity, everyone of all ages seems to enjoy a game of bingo. We would like to thank everyone for their support including all the businesses who were very generous with their raffle prize donations.

"My initial fundraising target was £1,000 so to have doubled it was way beyond what we had hoped for."

The night raised more than £2,000 which will be split between five different charities

Rachael Stevens, of Safeline, based in Warwick and Stratford, said: "The partnership and amazing support from Alsters Kelley is vital to our fundraising and awareness raising, ensuring that Safeline can continue to support adults and children in Coventry and Warwickshire who have been affected by sexual violence.

"We are so proud to have been selected for support alongside the other amazing charities. We really enjoyed meeting everyone at the Bingo night and we look forward to Alsters Kelley's next event. Together, we are making a difference."

Also supporting the five charities at the weekend were members of the Alsters Kelley team and their families and friends who took part in a 3.5k walk of the British Camp Circular route in the Malvern Hills.

The walk, which has so far raised around £250, was organised by Alsters Kelley Conveyancing assistant Victoria Smith.

The firm has also been supporting the wider Ukrainian efforts by collecting and donating vital supplies, including toiletries and medical supplies.
