Mental health awareness week 2020 runs next week (18th-24th May). The coronavirus pandemic is having a huge impact on mental health and Mind (the charity we are supporting) has launched an emergency appeal to help protect, support, and save lives.

Our weekly Quiz community has grown over the past 7 weeks, and really has become something special. We see many of the same friendly faces each week, they encourage others they know to join and we see people waving at their friends, laughing with each other, and getting a break from their isolation which is so important. From large families at home, to individuals isolating alone - our event is all about community. We would love you to join and support this important cause at the same time.

Next week on the 20th May The Big Smoke Events will be giving all our ticket sale money to Mind in honour of mental health awareness week. 

The theme for this week in the UK for 2020 is Kindness. We also want to shine a light on the ways that kindness is already flourishing at this time and will reflect this in the content of the Quiz. We have seen it in the dancing eyes of 100-year-old Captain Tom Moore as he walked his garden to raise money for the NHS and in the mutual aid groups responding to local needs. We want that kindness to spread further in every community in the UK, including our growing Big Smoke Events one. 

Tickets are only £4 to join our quiz, and this link is set up for anyone who feels they can donate any more to support this important cause.

Here is a link to Mind so you can see all the amazing work they are doing https://www.mind.org.uk
