What is the Birthday Quiz in aid of?

Donations made will go towards setting up a Guideposts Bursary Fund for service users in hardship. Members of Guideposts services will be able to apply to this fund for help with a specific problem.

It may pay for transport to reach vital appointments or services when they are unable to; it may buy someone whose cooker has broken a new cooker; or similar crucial items. Criteria for bursary applications will be set out and approved by the charity Trustees.
