Rt Hon Sir John Whittingdale OBE MP

Member of Parliament for Maldon

Charity Bet Campaign in Coral, Maldon

Sir John recently enjoyed visiting a Coral branch in Maldon High Street to support the Betting and Gaming Council’s Charity Bet Campaign. Here, he met with the team and discussed this new initiative which will support Family Carers in Maldon and the wider Essex area.

By placing a £50 bet on Haiti Couleurs for Saturday’s Grand at 16-1, the BGC will donate a minimum of £250 to Action for Family Carers in Maldon, in addition to any winnings from the bets.

Sir John welcomed the opportunity to see another side of Maldon High Street and particularly valued the discussion on how the Charity Bet Campaign can benefit an Essex-based charity, Action for Family Carers. To find out more about the work they do, please visit their website.

Thanks for this visit go in particular to Nicki, the area manager, and staff members Colin and Callie.
