Clwyd South MP thanks team at The Sun Trevor for successful charity quiz night

Staff at a pub in Wrexham County Borough have been praised by the MP for Clwyd South for their successful charity quiz nights.

Simon Baynes MP recently joined owners, Paul and Katy Jones, along with The Sun Trevor Quizmaster, Maggie Smith, for the unveiling of a cheque worth £1,500 to Nightingale House Hospice following the culmination of fundraising efforts over the last seven months.

The Sun Trevor has been helping to fundraise for the charity for eight years in total and has raised £24,500 for the Hospice to date.

Following a year online during the Covid-19 pandemic, the quiz now takes place in person each week, with between 30 and 40 people in attendance on average.

Maggie Smith, the Quizmaster for The Sun Trevor, said: “The Nightingale House Hospice need the money very badly and I am very pleased to continue as Quizmaster, raising £1,500 since January this year and a cumulative total of £24,500 over the last eight years since my sister-in-law Sandra was cared for by the Hospice.”

Simon Baynes MP added: “It was great to visit The Sun Trevor again and to see how their fundraising efforts have progressed in recent months.

“The work of the team there is a testament to the charitable and service-minded spirit of businesses across Clwyd South and I look forward to visiting again.

“I would also like to pay special tribute to Paul and Katy as the owners of the pub, along with Maggie Smith for her work as Quizmaster.

“The work of Nightingale House Hospice is vital to our community and the money raised for them will be used to help care for those at the end of their lives.

“They are a fantastic local charity whose work should be commended.”
