Pub quiz a big success!
HSWL ran a pub quiz at The Bricklayers Arms in Putney Weds 21 November 2012 which raised over £2000.
The pub landlady (and HSWL trustee) Becky Newman was the perfect host, providing fabulous nibbles and first free drink to guests – thereafter £1 for every drink bought was donated to HSWL.
The quiz included a smell round in test tubes and was hosted by quiz master Keith Hawley who has worked extensively in Neuro Rehab services for the last 30 years and came all the way from the Peak District to support the charity.
Congratulations to the Just Costs team who the quiz and kindly donated their £100 prize money back to HSWL!
As well as the quiz we also ran a raffle, with prizes such as tickets to see Manchester United play at Old Trafford. The tickets were donated by Nestor Partnership, and won by Mark at Just Costs who is a Liverpool supporter so put the prize back in for auctioning which raised £160!
Special thanks to Becky, Keith Hawley, Nestor Partnership, Forths Forensic Accountants, Just Costs, 9 Gough Square, and various other friends and work colleagues who supported us on the night.

John takes on the Grim Challenge in aid of HSWL!
HSWL supporters certainly do like to take on big challenges to fundraise for us. We are very honoured that one of our supporters, John Sykes, will be tackling the Grim Challenge on 2 December in order to raise money for HSWL.
HSWL is a cause close to John’s heart: “I am running the Grim Challenge this year to help raise much needed funding for Headway South West London who provide help and support to my son Robert who had a stroke last year and now has brain damage which restricts his speech and cognitive thinking.
Since we found Headway SWL, Robert has made good progress in his recovery and looks forward to the monthly meetings with his new friends at Headway SWL.”
