TWO charities have raised around £5,000 from a quiz hosted by Matt Lucas from ‘Little Britain’.
Harrow hospital radio station, Radio Northwick Park and the Alan Senitt Memorial Trust joined forces to organise the fundraiser held two weeks ago.
Proceeds from the event were made through tickets sales, a raffle and an auction with a framed ‘Alice in Wonderland’ film poster signed by Matt Lucas up for grabs. The total amount will be split equally between the two trusts.
Half will go towards the £25,000 studio refurbishment for Radio Northwick Park and the other half will go on the £150,000 Alan Senitt Hillel Student Centre.
Comedian Matt Lucas who is also a patron of the Alan Senitt Memorial Trust said: “I grew up in Stanmore so Northwick Park is a hospital I have visited relatives in, so it’s a hospital I know. So it’s nice to be able to help these two charities.”
He added: “It’s really nice in these difficult times that people are still able to come and support charities and so we’re really heartened by the fact that over 300 people turned up.”
Chairperson of the Alan Senitt Memorial Trust, Emma Senitt said: “The event has gone really well and been very successful.
The quiz consisted of 10 rounds with general knowledge questions on food and drink, currents affairs, and film and television.
There were 30 teams made up of 10 people on each. The wining team was Quiz Team Aguilera who won a trophy.
One of the members of the winning team and Radio Northwick Park volunteer, Malcolm Clarke, 54, Warden Avenue, Rayners Lane said: “We won because the team really gelled together to account of our strengths and weaknesses.”
Radio Northwick Park provides entertainment for patients at Northwick Park Hospital, Watford Road. The Alan Senitt Memorial Trust promotes interfaith dialogue and the education of Israel.
