Sunnyside is excited to be joining churches across the country again in hosting the Tearfund Big Quiz Night on Saturday 19th November 2022. In 2019 we raised an incredible £637 including gift aid, in 2020 we beat that raising £683.75 including gift aid, and last year we smashed our previous efforts raising an amazing £806 including gift aid!

Tearfund suggest a donation of £5 per person however this is just a suggestion and you may like to give more if your circumstances allow. Also Sunnysiders and friends who aren't able to join the quiz please do feel free to donate as well!

The money we raise will transform the lives of people like Zuleima. Zuleima is a 35-year-old mother of three from Venezuela. It is a country struggling beneath the weight of a massive economic crisis. Along with more than a million other Venezuelans, Zuleima made the decision to flee to neighbouring Colombia. [I was] leaving my house, my home, my memories, Zuleima says, It was very difficult to leave it all behind. The church opened their doors, and they helped me, says Zuleima. Not only giving me food and a place to live, but also taking care of my emotions, giving me words of hope, giving me words of faith. As well as providing support for refugees immediate needs, Tearfund's local church partners have been setting up support groups that help people like Zuleima find new income opportunities. A gift of £24 could provide two women like Zuliema with the training and tools they need to provide a better future for their families.
