Three staff members working for Praesepe’s Cashino brand of adult gaming centres, were honoured for their fund raising activities in aid of the children’s charity, CHIPS. Since becoming a partner of the charity, Praesepe has succeeded in raising more than £650,000 – sufficient to purchase 120 specialised wheelchairs for children and young people with severe mobility problems. The three were honoured in a special award presentation held at the company’s head office in Milton Keynes, UK.

CHIPS charity champions with Praesepe’s CEO Nick Harding

Mas Bibi, Venue Manager at Cashino Bedford, was named CHIPS Charity Champion, helping to raise more than £3,400 in 2016. Mas was awarded a gold Charity Champion award. Christian Cirlan, venue manager at Cashino Lewisham (London), who raised  £3,300, and Diane Welstead, venue manager at Cashino Acton (London), who raised more than £3,000, also received Charity Champion awards.

Mas Bibi said: “It’s a great privilege to be the CHIPS Charity Champions for the company. I couldn’t have raised such an amount without the support of my team and of course the wonderful Cashino customers, who were incredibly generous with their donations.”
