More than 100 people are set to attend the upcoming Big Worcester Quiz for a city charity.

The quiz, a spin-off from the annual Big Worcester Sleep Out group, is entering its second year.

All proceeds will go to Worcester charities Maggs Day Centre, St Paul’s Hostel, and The Worcester Warriors Foundation.

The quiz will be held at Henry Sandon Hall, with support from The Bransford Trust.

The Big Worcester Sleep Out group was established to highlight homelessness issues, challenge public perceptions, and work towards changing the lives of vulnerable members of the community.

The beneficiaries provide a range of support, including accommodation, one-to-one support, peer mentoring, access to health, training, development, and employment services.

They also help with life skills to sustain tenancies, offer physical and mental health support, and provide rehabilitation.

Their services focus on building trusted relationships that reduce social isolation and reintegrate them back into the community.

The quiz was introduced to reach a wider audience beyond the annual sleep-out attendees.

The aim is to raise awareness of the work the charities do across Worcestershire and to boost fundraising efforts.

Marketing and relations manager at Maggs, Melissa Blewitt, said: "The Maggs team are delighted to be a part of The Big Sleep Out events again this year.

"Not only do we get to work with some other fantastic local charities, but we get to raise awareness on homelessness and the issues they endure whilst sleeping rough, but also what we as a charity do to support the individuals."

Tickets for the quiz are still available at £5 per person, with all proceeds going directly to the charities.

The organisers are encouraging people to gather their friends and colleagues, come up with creative team names, and join the event on Thursday, September 19.
