My Story
KidsOut needs our help more now than ever.
At Policy Expert, we are keen to raise as much money as we can to try and match the £12K that we raised for this fantastic charity last year, which is a huge challenge given all the big events have been cancelled this year due to COVID-19. This is where we need your help…
We are planning to host a virtual quiz night over Kahoot on Thursday 9th July. For those that haven’t used Kahoot before it’s a fun and fully interactive platform and all you need is your phone. The question comes up, you will select the answer, it instantly tells you if you have the answer right. It’s also timed so those getting the answer quickly earn extra points. For those competitive members of the team it also generates a leader board to show you your position.
There will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize for the highest scorers and the winner as well as a Trophy that will be presented as part of the EOTM awards!
Why are we doing this quiz for KidsOut?
Unfortunately, KidsOut has lost over £500k of income due to cancelled events as a result of Covid 19 and are currently giving emergency food voucher to families across the country as well as delivering brand new toy boxes. In addition, as the children are stuck inside in refuges KidsOut have been providing Disney films and World Stories, their online story service. Calls to domestic abuse lines have increased by 25% over the last 3 months and refuges are full, so these children/families need more help than ever. We also as a Policy Expert team thought it would be great to all get together and have some virtual fun!
How do you get involved?
If you are interested in participating in the quiz please drop your name on the attached sheet to enable us to gauge numbers – If you’re are interested please let us know by Friday 26th June.
More information on the quiz will be announced closer to the time.
To enter the quiz there will be a small donation of £5, this will go direct to KidsOut. We’ll issue the charity checkout link to enable you to pay during the next week.
