When all the scores were added up and checked over in detail – there were lots of bankers and accountants in the room! – the team from Azets had regained their title. But best of all was the incredible generosity of Lloyds Bank and all the quizzers in attendance. Thanks to them, the event initially raised £3,426 – that’s an amazing total in itself, but then Lloyds Bank offered to match that total through its Charity Foundation, so almost £7,000 will be going to Myton to support patients and their families!

Claire Carr, Relationship Director for Lloyds Bank, said:

“We’re delighted that our Quiz has raised so much money for Myton. It was a really fun evening, a very competitive quiz, but best of all was the knowledge that we were raising so much money for such a good cause.”

Martin Watts, Corporate Fundraiser at The Myton Hospices, said:

“We are incredibly grateful to Lloyds Bank for their ongoing support and the amazing impact they have on our patients and their families. The generosity of people and organisations in our community ensures that those living with life-limiting illnesses can access the care and services they need and deserve.”

This year, it costs £15.3 million to continue providing Myton’s services free of charge to patients and their families. Myton is a charity, not the NHS, and they only receive 17% of their funding from the NHS. This means they have to raise £12.7 million to ensure people can access the support they need. That’s more than £1 million each month.

The hospices would like to thank everyone involved in the annual quiz, whose support is making a real difference to the lives of patients and their families.
