Must read

More than 90 people attended the music bingo night, hosted by Hays Travel agents at The Seahorse in Gosport on October 11, raising £1,055 for Marvels and Meltdowns.

The event also featured karaoke, a disco, and a magic mirror photo booth.

Each of Hays Travel’s 490 branches is given a £500 budget annually for fundraising and charity work.

In the last year, the company’s Local Community Partnership initiative has donated over £140,000 to local charities.

Hays Travel Gosport branch manager, Kirstie Meades-Marshall, said: “We had a big discussion in store as a team and chose this charity to fundraise for as they represent the youth of today.

“It is really important that families of neurodivergent young people can find support and connect with other families going through similar experiences.

“We love what Marvels stand for and how they adapt learning and social gathering to be inclusive and support all children.”

CEO and founder of Marvels and Meltdowns, Shandrika Day, said: “This is such a wonderful charity event hosted by Kirstie and her team at Hays Travel Gosport. The funds will go towards our Santa’s Grotto this year.”
