During lockdown we saw lots of people quizzing to keep in touch with friends and family and some have continued to use this as a way to raise funds for the hospice. If you’re hosting a quiz for friends, family or colleagues and would like a bit of guidance then look no further…
We have put together a guide showing you how to host your own virtual quiz which will give you hints and tips for your quiz night, as well as walking you through how to set up your own Facebook live video and Zoom meeting. The ‘how to’ guide also walks you through creating a fundraising page via our Charity Checkout platform so you can keep a running total on how much your quiz has raised.
If you’re struggling for question inspiration, get in touch with the Prospect Hospice fundraising team on fundraisingandevents@prospect-hospice.net or via the form below – we have a whole host of quiz packs ready and waiting for you to use.

We also ask that you read the terms and conditions of fundraising on behalf of Prospect Hospice before you undertake your event. You can find these here.
