A pub quiz was hosted last night to raise funds for Support Dogs, kicking off Paws for a Cause\u2019s citywide Pup Quiz Week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quiz, held at The Waggon & Horses<\/a> on 17 November, raised \u00a350 for Support Dogs<\/a>, which provide life-changing autism, seizure-alert, and disability assistance dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam Howse, manager at The Waggon & Horses, said: \u201cSupport Dogs directly change lives, their training can provide someone with the confidence to do everyday tasks, which may have been a challenge without.

“As a pub located in the park, we welcome plenty of dogs every day, so incorporating this fundraiser into our quiz was a no-brainer.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u00a31 entry fee was introduced, alongside QR codes placed on each table for people to scan and give, with all proceeds going directly to the charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A donation tin was also placed out to encourage contributions, alongside informative flyers supplied to raise awareness of Support Dogs’ work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Colleyshore, pub quiz master, said: “This is a very important cause; we’ve provided materials to encourage people to donate, and we’re happy to incorporate some themed trivia knowing the money from tonight will go directly to the charity, which offers essential services.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support Dogs is currently facing a waiting list crisis, with demand far exceeding resources, and is in urgent need of funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next few weeks, Paws for a Cause aims to raise \u00a0\u00a31,000 for 10 autistic children to meet a support dog, secure 15 sponsors for autism assistance dog Peggy, and have 10 people register interest as puppy socialisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shubana Nawaz, an attendee, said: \u201cI loved the quiz, I really enjoyed answering the questions. Times are hard, and all charities are struggling, so the more we can do, the better. It\u2019s for a good cause, and events like this make helping more accessible and enjoyable.

\u201cI\u2019d encourage anyone thinking about coming to a quiz later this week to take part if they can; it’s definitely worthwhile, but you don’t have to attend a quiz to support the charity – there are so many ways to contribute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
