First of all, I'd like to introduce myself to all of you. My name is Laura Jones and I am the founder of Eventures. Each year, I arrange events such as quizzes, themed afternoon teas, celebrity Q&A evenings and I specialise in outdoor cinemas. 

Much like all other self employed people, especially in the events industry, my company has been hit hard because of the Coronavirus and lost a great deal of work this year. I am a new mom of a 6 month old baby and was relying on work from Eventures, but now not to be this year. As such, I had planned to move my quizzes online for the foreseeable future so that I can still work, keep myself busy and entertain the nation. I had planned to charge for entry at a discounted rate and crown a winner.

HOWEVER...

Since coming up with the idea of the virtual quizzes, things have snowballed somewhat! I thought there would only be a couple of hundred people taking part, we currently stand at ten's of thousands interested in each quiz. This is fantastic but overwhelming. For a little company like mine to create such an audience is incredible and just shows how much we all need a night like this in such difficult circumstances. 

As the number interested has increased so greatly, it seems an ideal opportunity to give something back. As I simply cannot crown a winner and provide a prize with this many entries, here is my suggestion...

We have a great evening of entertainment on Friday night, answering questions about specialised subjects, ensuring that we stay indoors to look after one another and help our NHS. However, with this growing platform, we can help the NHS even more. Therefore, as entry to this quiz, I ask that you donate £2 (£2 is the minimum donation amount on JustGiving) and all proceeds will be donated to the NHS to help in this difficult time.
