Charity to host quiz night to raise funds for mental health support
A charity is set to host a quiz evening to raise funds for its mission to make Southampton more mental health friendly.
Southampton Mental Health Network (SMHN) will hold the quiz night on September 8 from 7pm to 10pm.
The event will take place at The Bridge, Building 42, University Road, Southampton.
Tickets are £10 each, with all proceeds going to the organisation.
The City Council and NHS-endorsed charity are inviting keen quizzers to unite for a night of fun and fundraising.
Sue Hayward, chair of the board of trustees and mental health educator and trainer, said: "We've hosted two very successful fundraising quizzes already, one last summer and one earlier this year, so we have decided to host another.
"We hope lots of keen quizzers join us for the evening, which promises to be great fun."
The quiz will kick off at 7.30pm, with drinks and pizzas available to purchase separately from the bar.

A fundraising raffle will also be held during the night, with prizes donated by businesses in the city and surrounding county.
Sue added: "Proceeds from our September Quiz Evening will go towards helping us continue our work to make Southampton a mental health friendly city, as well as raising awareness of our website where people who live and work in the city can go to be signposted to find any help they might need.
"The winning quiz team members will each take home a £5 CommuniBakes community bakery voucher and have the privilege of lifting our much-coveted, and very shiny, Southampton Mental Health Network trophy."
The charity was formed in 2022 and aims to make Southampton a more mentally health-friendly city.

All quizzers are encouraged to book in advance.
Sue said: "We're inviting keen quizzers to get together in teams of a maximum of six and to book in and come along for an enjoyable evening of quizzing, while also helping us raise invaluable funds.
"If you do not have a team but would still like to take part, please let us know when booking and we can introduce you to other attendees."
