A group of travel agents from Hays Travel in Kingswood have organised a charity quiz and bingo night to raise funds for Bristol Children’s Hospital’s Grand Appeal charity.
More than 40 people attended the event at All Saints Parish Church Hall in Fishponds on 27 November.
The event raised £771 for The Grand Appeal, the official Bristol Children’s Hospital charity, which supports staff, patients, and families.
The Grand Appeal provides accommodation for families whose children are in hospital, invests in medical research, provides state-of-the-art equipment, as well as music, art and play therapy for young patients.
Katie Soane of The Grand Appeal said: “We are so grateful to have the support of Hays Travel Kingswood. It’s because of companies like Hays Travel, and their wonderful community, that we can make a life-changing difference to brave young patients and families from across the South West. From funding medical equipment to music and play therapies, your fundraising efforts contribute to making Bristol Children’s Hospital the very best it can be. Thank you so much!”
Branch manager at Hays Travel in Kingswood, Jane Drake, said: “It was a fantastic evening. We are all blown away by the generosity of our customers and of course the local businesses who donated so many great prizes. I am also very proud of my team. They worked so hard to make this event a success and I think we absolutely smashed it.”
