The Charity Quiz Night was a terrific success raising just over £1,000 for TREES. The hard work in organising the evening was down to Barry and Sue who continue to do a tremendous amount of voluntary work for the charity. The Quiz Master was, as always, fantastic. Food, also was really good, the chicken curry & rice provided by Ali with alternatives of chicken casserole and salads. A really good time was had by all. Many thanks to everyone who organised and attended the event!
A bit about TREES
TREES is a local, Epsom based, entirely voluntary run registered charity that provides social activity and entertainment opportunities to local groups and individuals, young and old, who are learning and/or physically disabled, have dementia or who are incapacitated in any other form or manner.
Originally set up in 1976 to provide entertainment opportunities to people then termed as mentally handicapped, living at the now closed St Ebbas hospital in Epsom, TREES have since grown, developed and evolved into a charity that now regularly runs in excess of 100 events a year. Events which range from discos, karaoke's, live bands, jazz, old time show tunes, boat trips, seaside excursions and pantomimes. All this with one very simple aim, to put a smile on the face of those, who perhaps, have less to smile about than most.
