Kick Start 2022 Quiz

What better way to Kick Start the new year with a quiz to focus our minds!
This fundraising event is for the 3 domestic abuse charities we support: Reigate and Banstead Women’s Aid, True Honour and East Surrey Domestic Abuse Services.
We ask if you can donate £5 per person but of course you can donate more! You are welcome to take part on your own, with other people in your household or with up to a maximum of 3 households, where communication can be via What’s App or Messenger. Each household will have to register and donate in order to be sent a Zoom link. Family and friends are all welcome.

What do we do?
We use our time and skills to benefit women and girls. But it isn’t all work! Members have fun and find friendship and mutual support when needed. There are opportunities to develop knowledge, skills, experiences and to achieve goals personally and as a group.
The pandemic has enabled us to move away from traditional meetings and events and develop a programme of virtual meetings and activities. We have supported members to develop the use of Zoom.
Our fortnightly meetings on Zoom include: discussion, speakers, fundraising events and a Christmas Social. There is additional contact through one to one support and small group social activities to reduce isolation and enable members to socialise.
