Our Big Charity Quiz Night, held on World Homeless Day (Friday 10 October) at Bolero Bar, Worcester, was a sell-out — and a huge success thanks to our incredible community. Together we raised over £3,600 to support people experiencing homelessness across Worcestershire.

The evening brought together local businesses, supporters, and friends of Maggs for a night of laughter, friendly competition, and generosity — from picture rounds and brain-teasers to a brilliant raffle — all in support of our vital work.

A word from Melissa

“Nights like this remind us how powerful our community can be when it comes together. Every ticket, raffle entry, and cheer adds up to real, practical support for people who need it most. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up, gave generously, and made it such a brilliant evening.”
— Melissa Blewitt, Fundraising, Communications & Relationships Manager, Maggs Day Centre
