A bumper year of fundraising for The Light Fund came to a successful close last week (20 November), with the Southern Quiz adding over £12,000 to what is set to be a spectacular tally for 2025.

Industry executives from companies including Rainbow Productions, Pokémon, Rockpool Licensing, Roy Lowe & Sons, Brands Untapped, TDP Textiles, Penguin Ventures, Libertas Brands, Paramount, Beano, Rainbow Designs, Rocket Licensing, Danilo, Blueprint Collections, Bioworld, Misirli, Max Publishing, Universal, The Sunflowers, Solent Group, FOCO, Hasbro, Natural History Museum, Fabacus and Moonbug among others headed to the new venue of The Flamingo Bar in central London for the popular event.

As well as the quizzing fun, there was also a bumper raffle – with generously donated prizes including a Nintendo Switch and a Traitors Live experience.

In the battle for the trophy, Squirtle Me This (Pokémon) emerged victorious with a score of 104 points. At the other end of the table, with a score of 61 points, Stuffed with Knowledge (Rainbow Designs) took home the infamous ‘Big Pants’.

“We are absolutely thrilled with the funds raised at the quiz last night,” commented Robyn Cowling from The Light Fund committee. “The attendees really enjoyed a more central and cosier venue and the atmosphere was fantastic. Well done to all the quizzers! Always rewarding to raise lots of dough and have a fantastic time while doing it.”

The full standings can be seen below, with The Light Fund due to confirm the 2025 charity beneficiaries in December.
