Charity Begins at Carlton Clubs
Carlton Clubs • September 16, 2026
We’ve always taken the opportunity to raise money for charity, and over the summer our clubs have been very busy arranging various challenges to raise money for Variety The Children’s Charity.
Several activities have taken place ranging from swimming in the dark to walking 500 miles and a significant amount of money was raised. Here’s a list of what took place:
- Dalkeith did an ice bucket challenge.
- Dunfermline had a night-time Loony Dook in the freezing waters of the Firth of Forth.
- Elgin and Stirling arranged a 500-mile walk, where all the clubs took part via treadmill to hit the distance goal.
- The management team from Livingston spent a whole day running on a treadmill.
- George from Partick climbed Tinto Hill.
- Carlton Bingo held a charity golf day, where suppliers and industry colleagues joined in.
In total, we raised just under £8,000 and we're overwhelmed by the generosity of customers and the hard work that our staff put in across our Bingo Clubs all over the country. We’ll continue to raise money for worthy causes.
Here’s a few pictures showing the various teams in action.
We recently held our Carlton bingo annual visit to Blackpool, where almost 200 customers made the pilgrimage to the Vegas of the north for a weekend of bingo and partying.
The last weekend of May saw two milestone achievements by long term employees at Carlton Bingo.
A local lady, who's been going to the bingo for 15 years, won £50,000 in the National Bingo Game on the evening of 1st May, and we could not be any happier for her.
We Love Our Members So Much We're Celebrating Valentine's With a Free Prize Draw!
Bingo has always had a charitable tradition, and we’re delighted that we have continued that tradition since Carlton was founded in 1998.
Residents in Elgin and Stirling couldn't get to the bingo...
...so we took the bingo to them!
We would like to congratulate Katie, who works in Carlton Elgin, on her recent promotion to Bistro Team Leader.
Helen from our Dunfermline club will forever be known as Helen the Brave, for taking the plunge and shaving all her hair in order to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
We've had so many good wins this month......roll on August for many more!!
Our club in Inverness has been a big part of the community for 20 years and as part of our investment in the future, we’ve recently given the venue an extensive £800,000 refurbishment.
