Join us for a fun night of quizzing about food and travel (we promise not to make it too hard) in support of some great causes. Tickets are £10 per person and include a cheese platter, team sizes of 8 people, or we can add you to a team on the night.
 
So, swot up on your general knowledge, donate just £10 for our charity partners and leave with your pride in tact when you win! 

About the projects

Growing Women in Coffee is Fairtrade Africa's flagship project aimed at deepening the role of Fairtrade certification in promoting gender equality and empowerment within export value chains such as coffee.  

The project, which runs from March 2015 - February 2018, is in line with UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with a specific focus on achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls and taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. It is also operating under Fairtrade International's 2016-2020 Strategy of 'Changing Lives through Trade' with its implementation supported by Fairtrade Foundation (UK) and Solidaridad Eastern & Central Africa Expertise Centre (SECAEC).

Being a pilot project, Fairtrade Africa chose to support two legally registered 'Women in Coffee' associations uniquely established and nurtured by smallholder male coffee farmers within Kabng'etuny and Kapkiyai Cooperative Societies in Kericho and Nandi Counties of Kenya respectively.


The project supports women into income earning roles as coffee farmers and the marketing of their coffee locally and internationally. Support will help women improve their productivity through training and also environmental footprint through supplying biogas units (providing clean energy supply and reducing deforestation).
  • For every £15 donated they can support another woman through 12-months of GAP (Good Agricultural Practice) training.
  • For every £100 donated helps 2 x families access organic farming inputs to improve the performance of their coffee bushes.
  • For every £250 donated they can cover the costs of materials for a biogas unit, providing a family of 6 with a clean energy supply and reducing deforestation.

End Polio Now
For over 30 years, Rotary has been working hard to rid the world of polio – a terrible disease that can kill or severely disable children and adults.
 
When Rotary started the campaign to eradicate polio, there were cases present in 125 countries worldwide, now just three countries remain polio endemic; Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. During that time, Rotary has helped immunise over 2.5 billion children and reduce the number of polio cases by 99.9%. The eradication of polio is tantalisingly close and we want you to get involved and help us finish the job.​
