Julia Ferguson, Head of Moorcrofts Charity Committee, said:

“We are really pleased to be working with SpecialEffect as our charity partner for the year. This was our first official event in support of the Charity and we were delighted to have been able to raise such a fantastic amount to help support the work that SpecialEffect does. We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came along and took part in the quiz and to Claytons for use of the pub for the evening and also to all the businesses who generously donated raffle prizes.”
