PUB quizzers have raised over £1,000 for a brain tumour charity.

Participants in Jay’s Virtual Pub Quiz, which really took off on social media during the lockdown, have raised money for The Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity.

The Virtual Pub Quiz has a huge 300,000 plus membership from across the globe and is the brainchild of former pub landlord Jay Flynn from Darwen.

Jay said: “I am delighted to be able to support organisations such as The Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity.

“The quiz has really taken off and it’s great to be able to give back whilst providing entertainment for so many people.”

Dawn Fidler, of The Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity and mum to Joshua Wilson said:

“We couldn’t be more grateful for this amazing gift.

“These vital funds will benefit so many people and we have to say a massive thank you to Jay and all his quiz members for the donation.”

The much-needed funds will go direct to support children and families.
