Quiz Nights
Our quiz nights in Aberdeen are a chance to get your friends together for a bite to eat and a bit of fun while raising money for kids in Kenya and north-east Scotland.
FUTURE QUIZ DATES: TBC
A huge thank you to the 18 teams who joined us for Speed Quizzing at Motif Aberdeen in March 2025. The evening of fun and fast fingers enabled us to raise over £600 which will contribute to the vitals services we support children and families with in north-east Scotland and Kenya.
A special mention to our awesome Quizmaster Shuan Ahmed who also runs other Speed Quizzes across the city. Thank you to the team at Motif, JK Fine Foods for the awesome pies and 8848 for the top team prizes.
2022 quizzes and impact
The first in our series of four GEF quizzes, sponsored by Ledingham Chalmers Solicitors, took place at the Ashvale Restaurant in Feb 2019 just before the pandemic hit. It saw us raise an incredible £1,244! 104 people turned up to take part and support the event with Callum Sinclair and friends emerging victorious with an impressive score of 63/70.
The second quiz of the series was held at Brewdog in February 2022 after a long wait following the pandemic. It was a great turnout with 20 teams taking part. Mark McDonald and his team won our 1st prize of £100 voucher for Aberdeen restaurant 8848, kindly donated by the owner Krish. Second prize of £50 Brewdog vouchers went to Neil Patience and his team. The event raised a fantastic £804 in total! Huge thanks must go to our sponsor Ledingham Chalmers, David Scott, Skylar and the team at Brewdog Castlegate and all who came along for their sponsorship and rallying of team mates.
The third quiz of the series was held at The Ashvale and was a great success. 75 guests across 14 teams took part and the evening was full of fun. Neil Patience and his team did one better than last time and came out on top, with each team member winning a meal for 2 at The Ashvale donated by Stuart and his team. Former GEF Quiz Champ Callum Sinclair and his team were runners up this time around, each taking home their choice of a GEF bracelet/keyring or tartan snood.
Thanks to event sponsorship from Ledingham Chalmers Solicitors and the £50 Heads & Tails prize donated by Fit Like Joggers / The Brewdog Run, we raised £735 which went towards funding our psychosocial support programme for children and families in Kenya.
