A CHARITY quiz night has provided a tonic for a hospice.

The quiz organised by Lloyds TSB Commercial raised £275 for the Butterwick Children's Hospice in Stockton, while the same bank's charity foundation matched the figure, resulting in a cheque for £550 for the hospice's Precious Hours Appeal.

Hospice fundraiser David Poffley said: "We aim to enrich the children's all too short lives in as many ways as possible and provide much needed respite care for their families.''
