Law firm Woodcocks Haworth and Nuttall Solicitors (WHN) has raised more than £3,000 for Bury Hospice through its annual charity quiz night.

Held at the Stables Country Club in Bury, the event brought together WHN partners, clients and staff, with 16 teams tackling seven rounds of challenging questions across a range of topics.

It was hosted by quizmaster, WHN director Sara Beaumont, who is based at the firm’s Bury office.

The annual quiz, which WHN has been organising since 2016, has raised funds for a range of Bury-based organisations in recent years including The Met and Bury Society for Blind and Partially Sighted People.

Funds raised through entry fees and a charity raffle on the night have now been donated to the hospice, which provides essential end-of-life care and support to local patients and their families.

The quiz was won by the team from corporate rescue and recovery specialist Begbies Traynor’s Bury office, which scooped the top spot by just one point to leave Cura Accounting, an outsourcing finance service based in Ramsbottom, in second place. Bury Business Lodge completed the top three.

Sara Beaumont said: “WHN is committed to investing in the communities we operate. Bury is a key area for WHN and we can trace our roots in the town back to 1791. 

“Bury Hospice provides not only vital inpatient care, but also runs a Living Well Centre and an outreach team supporting patients and families at home.

"The organisation has touched the lives of our staff, clients and partners over the years, so we felt it right to support this year through our annual quiz night.

“In addition to raising money, the annual event is a great opportunity for our clients, partners and staff to get together, make new contacts and catch up. It’s always well attended and we’re already looking forward to next year!” 

Bury Hospice opened its doors in June 1991. The charity has helped thousands of people through some of the most difficult times in their lives with specialist, compassionate and palliative end-of-life care. 

It costs the hospice £4m to run its services with a 13 per cent contribution from the NHS. The remainder is raised through income generation streams which includes fundraising and donations.

Nina Camplin, senior corporate fundraiser, Bury Hospice, said: “The support we receive from WHN is exceptional. Their team is dedicated to helping Bury Hospice raise much needed funds, be it joining one of our events or hosting their own. 

“The quiz night was fun, and for me educational, with some difficult questions! The amount raised shows the firm’s level of effort and commitment and the generosity of the teams on the night. All of us here at Bury Hospice cannot thank WHN enough.”

WHN Solicitors have offices in Accrington, Bacup, Blackburn, Clitheroe, Great Harwood, Haslingden and Rawtenstall.
