Aberdeen Employability Group - Chistmas Quiz Night

In support of AberNecessities - Believe in Magic Campaign

We would like to invite you of our Christmas fundraising Quiz & Networking night, where we are looking to raise funds, gift donations and awareness for Abernessecities.

AberNecessities (https://www.abernecessities.co.uk/) are a brilliant local charity, founded in 2019 and exists to ensure every child has the basic essentials they need to thrive. Its mission is simple: “No Child Should Go Without.” They provide help to families experiencing financial hardship by providing essential items for babies, children and young people.

We are supporting AberNecessities and their 'Believe in Magic' Christmas Campaign. We all know what that Christmas can be a truly special time for families, and in particular, children.

Alongside the team at AberNecessities, we want to play our part to make Christmas to feel like Christmas for every child acorss Aberdeen & Shire.

Quiz Details

And as part our aim to promote positive recruitment across North-East Scotland, and bring people from across Employability together, what better way to support, than by hosting a Christmas quiz!

Hosted again by the brilliant John Sim (https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-sim-64829b3a/), People Experience Manager at BrewDog. You can expect questions that'll test your Christmas knowledge of Aberdeen & Shire and have all of the usual main categories that will have you saying that your brain really glows - (like a light bulb)

Hosted at the stunning Terrace Bar & Café at the iconic His Majesty's Theatre, overlooking our very own Union Terrace Gardens, tickets are £20 for teams of a maximum of 4 (payable on the night), with all proceeds going directly to support Aberdeen Cyrenians.

Tickets are limited to a maximum of 20 teams.

Arrival is from 6pm, with an expected quiz start time of 7pm.

We'll begin with some networking, before hearing from the team at AberNecessities and then we'll press ahead with the Chistmas Quiz. And as always, there will be some time for networking with fellow Employability folks.

Fundraising

We're aiming to raise as much money as possible for this wonderful charity and support children & families at this time of year. You can read more about the 'Believe in Magic' campaign here (https://www.abernecessities.co.uk/believeinmagic26).

On the night, we are asking if all participants can 'Bring a Selection box', or a similar chocolate/sweet gift to the campaign.

There are also other options to support the campaign, before, during or after the event.

You can donate a gift on the night, or at any stage in your own time via the wishlist in the link below, direct to AberNecessities. On the night, you'll also be able to select one of their Giving Tree Baubles, where each bauble suggests a gift a local child might love.
