Wolverhampton law firm Challinors is hosting a Quiz to raise valuable funds for the city's Beacon Centre in Wolverhampton which works with the West Midlands' visually impaired

Midlands law firm Challinors, which has an office in Wolverhampton city centre, is backing a fundraising Quiz for professionals in the city, in aid of the Beacon Centre for the Blind.

The Beacon Centre for the Blind provides a wide range of services for people of all ages living with sight loss in the West Midlands.

Local law firm Challinors has devised the Quiz Night which takes place on Friday 25th March 2011 to support the Centre's fundraising efforts. 

The Quiz will be held at the Beacon Centre on Wolverhampton Road East, which has been recently redeveloped to provide state of the art facilities to meet the increasing needs of the regions visually impaired.

As the Centre's Marketing & Development Officer Kate Fletcher explains, fundraising support from local businesses is vital:  

"The Centre relies heavily on funds raised in the local community. Fundraising partnerships like that we have with Challinors, a respected and local law firm, are valued very highly by the Centre.  

"We are hoping that the quiz will raise in the region of £1000, which will be used to help support our IT training project for visually impaired people in this area.   With government and industry expanding ever faster into digital-only services, Beacon Centre wants to ensure the visually-impaired and those in this area with other disabilities are not denied the opportunity to learn essential IT skills." 

Challinors' Nigel Sellar, a Partner at the firm, adds: "The work of the Beacon Centre and the support it provides to the visually impaired across Wolverhampton and the region, is exceptional. As a local employer and business, Challinors is keen to lend a hand whenever and however it can, and the Quiz night presents the ideal vehicle to raise invaluable funds for the Centre, whilst being a fun night for the city's business and professional community, in aid of a worthy and local cause."

Entry to the Quiz costs just £10 per person with a maximum of four in each team, and includes a hot supper. For more information, email: nigel.sellar@challinors.co.uk or KFletcher@beacon4blind.co.uk, Tel: 01902 880111.
