On Tuesday, 11th March, after a three-year break, the Big Essex Corporate Quiz returned at The Brentwood Centre. Twenty teams of corporate supporters from businesses all over Essex came together to support the Essex-based charity Havens Hospices, which includes Fair Havens in Prittlewell and Little Havens Children’s Hospice in Thundersley.  

The Big Essex Corporate Quiz was kindly sponsored by AON and an incredible £9,000 was raised through entry tickets, a raffle, and donations on the day. These much-needed donations will support hundreds of local children, young people, and adults living with incurable conditions in Essex.  

The night’s winners were a team from Rickard Luckin, a local accountant and tax advisor’s firm.  

Judy Grocott, Head of Fundraising at Havens Hospices, said, “Thank you to all the teams, including our sponsors, who attended and supported this year’s Big Essex Corporate Quiz. The event is a great opportunity for businesses to get together, socialise, network and have some fun outside of work 

“As a charity, we rely heavily on donations and support from our local community. It is thanks to local businesses that participate in events like The Big Essex Corporate Quiz that we are able to continue offering our specialised care and support free of charge, to families in Essex facing one of the most challenging times of their lives.” 

If you are a local business and would like to support the work of Little Havens, please contact our corporate fundraising team by emailing corporatefundraising@havenshospices.org.uk.
