Transforming communities, one quiz at a time

The money your quiz raises will support our Transforming Communities programme, helping local churches around the world lead their communities out of extreme poverty and into a sustainable future.

You’ll support people like Pastor Mwai in Malawi, who attended Tearfund’s training and was able to lead her church in restoring the environment by planting fruit trees and many others.

‘Before, reckless cutting of trees was common, but as of now, when someone cuts a tree, they plant over ten more as a replacement. We planted a lot of trees in our communities through this [Tearfund] training.

The room is decorated with colorful banners, and people are sitting at tables with pens and paper, looking engaged and excited. A podium with a big screen reading 'Big Quiz Night' is visible at the front of the room.

In the background, there are other tables with people seated, indicating the presence of multiple teams participating in the quiz. The scene exudes a fun and competitive atmosphere with people laughing and enjoying the experience. Photo 2 shows a man and a woman wearing bright yellow Tearfund branded t-shirts, standing side by side and smiling at the camera. The man is on the right side of the image, wearing a jacket and the woman, who is standing next on the left, is holding a cup in her hands.  Illustrations of Sherlock Holmes and Peter Pan characters  are interacting with the photos on a blue background.
