Hide AdLisa Burrell, director of the ARK Horsham, said: “It was a wonderful evening filled with so much fun and laughter. The best part is we raised much needed funds to fill the lives of others with fun and laughter this Christmas rather than having to face the day alone.
“Last year 45 members of the ARK family shared Christmas Day and Boxing Day together at the United Reformed Church in Horsham and we will be together again this year so the money raised is very welcome. A big thank you to everyone who helped and took part in the quiz.”
ARK - Achieving Recovery through the Kingdom - is a Christian charity supported and run by volunteers from local churches.
It provides a friendly, safe place to be for those seeking a way out of issues such as homelessness, addiction and poverty.
