The Sun Trevor Raises £30000 – the popular Vale of Llangollen public house has raised the money through their famous quiz nights!
The Sun Trevor
A Fundraising Milestone
Reaching a fundraising milestone, The Sun Trevor has raised over £30,000 through their weekly pub quiz in aid of the hospice and celebrated with Dennis Taylor, former World Snooker Champion, who presented the team with a cheque.
Owners of the Sun Trevor, Paul and Katy Jones, alongside quizmaster Maggie Smith, have dedicated their time to run a series of quizzes over the past 10 years, where the local community have come together to support their efforts for local causes and raise a phenomenal amount of money.
Maggie said: “Quite simply, I enjoy writing and running the quiz. The teams enjoy playing each week and keep coming back for more. They are very generous. Paul, Katy and I would like to thank all the players who have supported us for many years, even for 52 weeks on Zoom during the lockdown! I chose to support Nightingale House after my sister-in-law, Sandra, was cared for so beautifully 10 years ago.”

The House of Commons
Earlier this year, Paul, Katy, and Maggie travelled to the House of Commons, where they received the Community Fundraising Hero Award for Wales at the PubAid Community Pub Hero Awards 2024, recognising their fundraising efforts. The trio host a quiz every Wednesday at 8pm in Llangollen.
Mike Jones, Community Fundraiser at Nightingale House Hospice was delighted. He said: “It means so much to the hospice to have supporters like Paul, Katy and Maggie. They and the customers of The Sun Trevor who have raised an incredible amount of money. This will help us provide much-needed services for people living with life-limiting illnesses in the community like hydrotherapy sessions. Without the support of kind people and businesses taking the time to fundraise for our charity, we wouldn’t be able to provide the support we do.”
“We want to say a huge thank-you to the whole team at The Sun Trevor. Your hard work and support in hosting your infamous pub quiz and to the community helped you raise £30,000! If you fancy a fun night with friends, head down to The Sun. You can enjoy a nice drink and an evening of entertainment.”
Nightingale House Hospice
Money for most of Nightingale’s running costs comes through fundraising and other income generation channels, including its on-site café and retail outlets that significantly contribute to maintaining services for those with life-limiting illnesses.
Services are entirely free of charge to patients and their families across the hospice’s catchment area stretching from Wrexham, Flintshire and East Denbighshire to Barmouth. The border towns, including Oswestry, Ellesmere, Wem and Whitchurch, are also eligible.
Nightingale House Hospice services are available to everyone living with a life-limiting illness in its catchment area. It costs £4,900,513 each year to run Nightingale House Hospice.
That’s equivalent to £408,376 per month, £94,241 per week or £13,389 per day.
