The Crown and Sceptre pub in South Croydon raised an impressive £3,585 for the South East Cancer Help Centre by hosting a hugely successful charity quiz night.

Pub quiz: the South Croydon boozer surpassed all expectations with its charity quiz and raffle

The evening saw locals come together in a fantastic display of generosity and support. Teams battled it out over a series of challenging quiz rounds, with the community pub on Junction Road buzzing with friendly competition and laughter. In addition to the quiz, a raffle featuring donated prizes helped boost the fundraising total.

“We are overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who attended,” said Michael Laker, the pub’s licensee.

“It was wonderful to see the community come together for such an important cause, and we’re thrilled to be able to support the South East Cancer Help Centre in their vital work.”

The funds raised will go directly to the centre, which operates from Purley, providing services and support to those affected by cancer and their families.
