Community News: Jamie’s Quest… Community Spirit Shines

The organisers of the recent quiz and raffle event for Jamie’s Quest would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who supported the event, raising vital funds for life-saving cancer treatment.

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of local businesses and amazing friends, who donated an array of fantastic raffle prizes, which included meals from Fox and Hounds, Barley, Banyers House the British Queen in Meldreth, The Red House, and many more. You can see the full list of thank yous on The Listing website.  Their kindness truly made a difference!

Special thanks go to Royston Town Football Club for providing the perfect venue and outstanding bar staff. A huge shoutout also goes to MC Gav Ryan, whose humour and patience helped navigate an enthusiastic crowd.

Thanks to the incredible support from the community the event raised an impressive total of £7,759! With some of the raffle ticket sales already added to the GoFundMe, the remaining £6,244 has now been donated.

The organisers are immensely grateful to everyone who attended, donated and provided raffle prizes. Together, everyone has made a big difference.
