Stockport based mental health charity, Beacon Counselling, are inviting businesses in the borough to show their support for Children’s Mental Health Week and take part in a quiz night on Friday 11th February.
The Stockport Business Quiz will take place at Edgeley Park from 7.30pm on Friday 11th February and give local companies the opportunity to test the general knowledge and network while raising awareness and funds in aid of mental health in the borough.
There will be a bunch of prizes up for grabs for teams submitted, including an electronics device donated on behalf of Music Magpie, who hope to retain their winning title for 2022, alongside a mini-auction to be hosted within the intervals.
Beacon Counselling held their first Business Quiz in 2021, which raised over £1,000 to support the Stockport charity.
This year’s event coincides with Children’s Mental Health Week, 7th-13th February 2022. Beacon Counselling supports over 500+ children aged 4-17 each year, with common themes including bereavement, depression, and anxiety. Working within 20+ Stockport schools, Beacon also provide specialist counselling and group programmes to support the wellbeing of children and young people; 99% measured positive impact with 97% measuring improved mood post therapy. One client, aged 16, said of the service, “It makes you feel calm and that someone understands and listens to what you have to say.”
Inclusive of hot food and entertainment, teams of 5 from Stockport businesses and groups can now be entered for the charity quiz evening at £120. To register their team for the event, groups are asked to email Beacon Counselling’s Joanne Watson before 5pm on Friday 31st January.
