Isle of Wight Youth Trust Receives Funding Boost Thanks To Quizzers

The Isle of Wight Youth Trust recently received a £730 boost to their funds thanks to a Quiz Night Fundraiser held by Eldridges Solicitors at Café Isola, Newport.

The quiz night was fully booked, with almost 60 people joining The Youth Trust and Eldridges Team alongside Mike Cox as compere and quiz master, taking everyone through several rounds of questions within this two-and-a-half-hour social event including a fun and fast paced ‘head and tails’ round.

Jo Dare, CEO and Head of Counselling and Wellbeing at the Isle of Wight Youth Trust, comments:

“We’re thrilled to share the success of the Eldridges Quiz Night fundraiser in support of the Youth Trust. The event brought together colleagues, partners, and community members for an evening of fun, friendly competition, and heartfelt generosity.

"Thanks to everyone’s enthusiasm and support, we raised vital funds that will directly benefit our young islanders. I would like to extend my deepest thanks to Eldridges and all who participated, donated, and helped organise the event. Together, we’re making a meaningful difference."

Aside from the quiz, the event also included a raffle with gifts kindly donated by many leading Island businesses including a family ticket to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, hamper from the Garlic Farm, family ticket to Blackgang Chine and Isle of Wight Jazz Weekend tickets, amongst other great prizes.

Throughout the event, those present could also enjoy drinks, homemade cakes Quiche and Antipasti Platters prepared by Café Isola, making this a truly memorable and highly enjoyable event.

This event is just one of many fund-raising activities that Eldridges are holding in support of the Isle of Wight Youth Trust since it appointed the trust as its charity of the year for 2025.

Joni Ade, Associate Director at Eldridges who heads their fundraising adds:

“As an Island based law firm, we understand how important the work of the Isle of Wight Youth Trust is, which is why we made them our charity of the year for 2025. Importantly, this fundraiser also reflected the support of Café Isola, plus many leading Island business that gave generously to our raffle and of course all of those that attended the event to show their support."
