The Big LUBS Virtual Quiz will see households compete for a chance to be named region’s top quizzing family and win a £50 Amazon voucher.
Delivered over video link, the quiz will take place on Wednesday 20 May at 7pm. Each team will make a suggested donation of £5 to enter, and every donation will be matched by Leek United pound for pound, up to a maximum of £30,000.
Overall, the campaign aims to raise £60,000 for three local charities including Treetops Hospice Care.
The charities all rely heavily on public support. As a result of the lockdown and social distancing measures, the income they usually receive from fundraising events, donations and charity shops has collapsed, leaving them with a large funding shortfall.

“This is a great opportunity for people to have some fun and raise money for three vital causes that do amazing work in the local community. All you need is a laptop/tablet, a pen and some paper and you can help these excellent causes from the comfort of your own home.”
