University Of Newcastle Dance Society's Quiz Night- Another Successful Fundraiser!!
Working with our university interns is always a delight and we are particularly proud when they stay with us and continue to support the charity. As part of her final year at the university, in her position as Welfare Officer Aimee Wager nominated Building Self-Belief as the University of Newcastle's Dance Society's chosen charity and in her role, she will be organising a series of fundraising events.

Their first charity event was the quiz night - and what a massive success it was!
In preparation for the quiz night, Aimee visited a variety of businesses and collected a whole series of fabulous raffle prizes. Plus, she created an engaging and entertaining quiz for the Dance Society to enjoy.
With a paper plane challenge for extra points, who could fail to enjoy the evening?
