‘Spot the Dragon’ cleans up at the Slough Foodbank Quiz Night

2nd June 2017

Slough Foodbank held their first ever quiz night on Saturday 20th May and raised a whopping £1,800 which will be used to cover the transport and operational costs of keeping  Slough Foodbank going.  ‘Spot the Dragon’, the team from Slough Homeless Our Concern (SHOC) came first, and scored 42 out of 50 in a list of very challenging questions.

Sue Sibany-King, Slough Foodbank Manager, said, ‘I am constantly overwhelmed by the support and generosity of our supporters and volunteers.  We could not have held such a successful event without donations from local businesses, as well as the catering expertise from the Upton Park Hotel and the students and staff of Haybrook College.  We estimate that it costs £100 per day to keep the charity running, so this is a substantial boost to our fund-raising endeavours.’

Slough Foodbank was founded in 2010, and provides emergency meals for over 3,000 local people every year.
