Chester Market charity quiz raises £600 for Chester Street Angels
The face behind The Chester Blog has raised £600 at a charity quiz yesterday evening (23 February), held in aid of the Chester Street Angels.
Street Angels Chester is a church-led initiative.
The group aims to help make Chester city centre a safer place on Friday and Saturday nights.
Sending out teams of trained volunteers to walk the city streets into the early hours, they support those in vulnerable or difficult situations.
Yesterday's event formed the second quiz held at Chester Market by the local blogger, following his September quiz in aid of Alzheimer's Society.
The event was a sell-out, with a total of £600 raised after donations, and all proceeds going to Street Angels.
The voice behind The Chester Blog spoke to Chester Nub News about the event.
He said: "Thank you to everyone that supported the quiz; it was great to bring the Chester community together in aid of such a great cause.
"The Market is a great venue for events like this and I hope to hold another quiz in a few months.
"Special thanks to my helper on the night, Debbie, and also Gavin Matthews of Dee 106.3 radio, for reading out the final scores."
Prizes were donated by many local businesses. Some of these included Stile Napoletano, Chester BID, Popcorn, Pars Kahve, Poise Dance Studio, Julie Colclough Gallery, Paint Republic, Chester on a Plate Tours and many others.
During the event, Paul Fielding, city centre manager, took to the stage to talk about the work the Street Angels do and their involvement in Chester's recent Purple Flag Award.
Magician Paul Shanley, of Chester guild of Magicians, also performed during the interval.
If you are interested in getting involved with the work that Street Angels do, the team are now looking for new volunteers.
