We are encouraging all pubs in the local area take part in our brand new fundraising challenge ‘MasterMinds’ and host a quiz night any time during June, July or August to help raise vital funds for our services.
All pubs taking part will receive a fundraising pack which includes quiz questions (should they want them!), posters to advertise their events and collection pots. They will also be entered into a league table for some friendly competition, with a ‘Masterminds’ trophy for the pub who raises the most money for the local charity.
Jenny MacPherson, Community Partnerships Fundraiser says: “As a local mental health charity, we are working hard to try and help as many people as possible but we can’t do it without the help and support of our community.
MasterMinds is a really fun and simple way to support local people who are struggling. Many people think we’re the national charity Mind but we don’t get our funding from them. So something like £152 being raised from one quiz night could pay for six sessions of counselling for someone who really needs it. This type of money makes a real difference to us and the people we support.”
For more information or if your pub would like to take part in the MasterMinds, simply email Jenny at j.macpherson@mnessexmind.org or call 01206 764600.
