Microgaming’s Gift of Giving presents four charities with donations

ISLE OF MAN – Microgaming, through its PlayItForward initiative, has donated £30,000 between four global charities.

Gift of Giving provides Microgaming’s customers the opportunity to vote for one of several charities in their region. In lieu of Christmas gifts, £30,000 is split equally between four global regions: Isle of Man, UK and Europe, Africa and Rest of the World.

The vote in December 2016 was Microgaming’s fourth annual Gift of Giving campaign. The charities that received the highest number of votes in each region were Women’s Refuge (Isle of Man), Teenage Cancer Trust (UK and Europe), Save the Rhino (Africa) and Médecins Sans Frontières (Rest of the World).

Women’s Refuge Isle of Man is a Manx-registered charity that has been supporting women and children who are suffering or have suffered from abuse of any kind, by offering secure temporary accommodation. The 20-year-old charity is predominantly run by unpaid committee members and volunteers.
