Care home residents marking off their bingo cards

Elderly residents at a local nursing home weren't going to let the coronavirus pandemic get in the way of their bingo game.
It was ‘eyes down’ for the residents at Moorgate Lodge, in Rotherham, South Yorkshire as they attempted to win a full house during a game of bingo with callers from Mecca Bingo.
Mecca Bingo provided the care home residents with dabbers and game cards, the hosts from the bingo giant joined the residents via Zoom for an hour of lines, full houses, and Bingo!
Mona Pearson, aged 93, a resident at the care home, said: “I really enjoyed playing bingo with Mecca and I can’t wait to play again.”
'It is the first time that I have ever sat and played a game of bingo and I loved it! I used to be on the committee at the club but never played, it is now my favourite game because I won,' added 88-year-old resident Oliver Smalley.
Demi, from Mecca Bingo, said: ‘Mecca Bingo Rotherham wanted to help spread their bingo joy to others during these difficult times. We know that care homes have suffered severely through the pandemic by not seeing loved ones and having little entertainment or engagement from outside the residence. We have the facility to create virtual bingo and we are so pleased we can spread the bingo love!’
Samantha Sheppard, operations coordinator at Moorgate Lodge, said, “When Mecca Bingo invited residents at the Moorgate Care Village to take part in a round of bingo via Zoom, I knew we would have a full house. It was great to see the residents come together, even virtually, to take part.”
