Community comes together to celebrate NHS charity through black-tie quiz night

The Birmingham business community came together for a black-tie quiz night of friendly competition to fundraise for Your City & Metropolitan Hospitals Charity.

Hosted by celebrity broadcaster Manish Bhasin at Milllennium Point, the black-tie charity quiz brought together members of the local business community, colleges, universities, donors, and supporters to raise vital funds to support patients, staff, and communities served by Your City & Metropolitan Hospitals Charity.

During the event, guests heard about the work of Your City & Metropolitan Hospitals Charity, the independent registered charity supporting Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust, including hospital sites at City Hospital, Rowley Regis Hospital, Sandwell Hospital, and Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, alongside GP sites and wider healthcare partners.

Speaking on the evening, Jemma Martin said: “Our black-tie charity quiz night at Millennium Point brings together our community of supporters and partners for an engaging evening of fun and friendly competition, while raising vital funds to support Your City & Metropolitan Hospitals Charity’s work.

“This event aims to increase awareness of our cause, strengthen our relationships, and raise money to help us continue creating a meaningful impact across for the patients, people, and communities we serve.”

Each year, the Trust cares for more than 530,000 patients, supported by over 8,000 staff.

The charity funds projects and equipment that goes above and beyond NHS provision, including specialist medical equipment, enhanced patient environments, staff wellbeing initiatives, and life-changing support services.

Guests enjoyed an evening of networking, entertainment, and quiz rounds, all while helping to raise an incredible total of £22k towards local healthcare initiatives.

The winning team on the night was the Fovis Mazars team.

Johnny Shah from Your City & Metropolitan Hospitals Charity said: “We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, sponsored, donated prizes, and supported this event.

“Simply by being here, our guests are helping us continue funding projects that make a real difference to patients, families, and NHS staff across our hospitals and communities.”
