A charity quiz has raised £1,000 to help children affected by cancer.

The event was organised by Sir Joseph Paxton pub landlord, Dave Roseby, and Nation Radio South presenter, Gary Parker in Titchfield. 

The quiz, held on May 14, saw more than 80 people attend.

Sally Randall from Abby’s Heroes said: "This is a nice example of local people coming together to help local children affected by cancer and their families.

"The money they have raised will help fund our half-term treat for siblings of local cancer patients to an activity day where they can just be kids and have fun."

Raffle prizes donated by local businesses included champagne, a designer handbag, a Beauty & the Beast tea set, and a Ring doorbell.

The raffle raised more than £350, and a hamper auctioned off raised a further £100.

Gary Parker said: "I want to thank everyone who supported the quiz on 14th May, donated raffle prizes, and bought raffle tickets.

"It was a great evening and I’m pleased that we raised another £1,000 for the charity as they do a fantastic job and help so many local families."
