Amberley Labels in Blandford hosted its first ever charity quiz night and raised £1,835 for Weldmar Hospicecare, a local organisation. Amberley Labels lost a popular colleague and dear friend, Katherine Dandridge, to cancer aged only 38, who was supported by Weldmar Hospicecare during her final days.
Thank you to our colleagues involved in the organisation of this charity event who helped to make it a success. The quiz night was attended by around 100 people from the local community, including colleagues, the local rugby team and Katherine’s family.
As well as the quiz, the evening included a raffle, an auction and a heads and tails game so there were plenty of opportunities for participants to get involved and win some exciting prizes.
The raffle prizes included a hotel overnight stay, hampers, vouchers, tickets to the races, gym passes, chocolates, Champagne, wine and gin. The auction items included a spa voucher for two, a home hamper, a luxury filled wine rack, candles and a set of car tyres.
David Richards, Amberley’s Managing Director, said: “The charity quiz night was a huge success, and we are very proud to have raised so much money to donate to Weldmar Hospicecare, a charity close to our hearts. We are enormously grateful to local businesses, our customers and suppliers who helped to make this happen with their generous and amazing prize donations. We would like to thank everyone who showed their support and took part in the charity quiz night.”
Fiona Hansford, Fundraising Lead - Recruitment & Engagement at Weldmar Hospicecare added: “A huge thank you to the team at Amberley Labels for putting on such a fantastic event. This is such a special way to honour their late colleague Katherine. As a charity we rely heavily on the support of our local community and this donation will help us to continue our work in providing specialist care for adults with a life limiting illness in Dorset, and supports their loved ones.”
