John Grose’s second annual quiz night events took place at the close of 2016 , with more than 300 people joining in to help raise over £3,014.70 for charity.

The charity quiz nights took place in Lowestoft where £746 was raised for Help an East Coast Child and Suffolk Family Carers, and at group’s Ford dealership on Ransomes Europark, which raised £2,268.70 for St Elizabeth Hospice and Suffolk Family Carers.

John Grose Marketing Manager, Jennifer Reed commented: “Members of our team have seen first-hand the fantastic facilities and care services offered by St Elizabeth Hospice. We are also very aware of the invaluable support Suffolk Family Carers give to people of all ages caring for a member of their family and were keen to play our part in helping children across the country through BBC Children in Need, so we were only too pleased to host the quiz nights to raise funds for them all.”Jennifer added. “

“It was great to welcome people into our dealerships who had never visited us before, as well as to see some friendly, familiar faces. We have a great team here at John Grose and I hope all that attended will feel comfortable to visit us again – for next year’s quiz if not before!”

Nikki Brown, Senior Partnerships Officer for St Elizabeth Hospice said: “We are absolutely delighted that John Grose have once again supported St Elizabeth Hospice through their annual charity quizzes. The events were excellent! We really do rely on local people and local businesses to fundraise to keep our services free of charge for the local community. We couldn’t reach out to our 2000 patients a year without them. Thank you!”

Hayley Hancock, Head of Adult Services (Health and Social Care) for Suffolk Family Carers said: “Thank you so much for the money raised from the John Grose Charity Quiz Night. This money will go directly to support family carers who are going through a difficult time with their caring role.”
