Bangers & Fizz Quiz raises over £2k for Lincolnshire hospitals charity

The fourth annual Bangers & Fizz Charity Quiz, organised by The Lincolnite, Ringrose Law, Visual Print & Design and Epix Media, took place on Friday, March 17, raising over £2,000.

Almost 150 people attended the speed quiz at The Drill in Lincoln on March 17, complete with a fizz reception and a two course meal of sausages and mash with veg, plus dessert.

The event was in aid of United Lincolnshire Hospitals Charity, who provide support for NHS staff.

• Funding a Sensory Room at Pilgrim Hospital Boston.
• Purchasing a new MRI Scanner for the people of Louth
• Wedding boxes for end of life patients.
• Teddy bears for babies on the neonatal unit.

Some great prizes were raffled including hampers, experience days and a Lincoln City Football Club shirt, signed by the first team players.
