Businesses across Burton-on-Trent and East Staffordshire were able to show off their general knowledge skills at Alexander Accountancy’s charity quiz night in aid of YMCA Burton.
The annual event, held on Thursday October 9, also included an auction, raffle and true or false game with the main quiz led by quizmaster Richard Lloyd, raising £5650 in total.
The fun evening took place in the Albion Suite at Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium in Princess Way to raise funds for Alexander Accountancy’s longstanding charity partner, YMCA Burton, a vital local charity providing supportive and safe housing for homeless people across three sites in East Staffordshire.
Posting on Facebook, YMCA Burton said: “We want to extend a huge thank you to the Alexander Accountancy team for all the work that made the night so special and for your ongoing support.
