We love a bit of spooky fun here in the Quest office and hope you all have some terrifically terrifying plans in place to celebrate Halloween in style. To get you in the mood here are a few utterly amazing (and creepy!) halloween pumpkin carvings that we’ve come across online…. And possibly the most incredible […]

Quest4Change has raised a staggering 1.5 million pounds in the last five years as direct support of our overseas projects, with serious help from all our volunteers along the way.  Here at the Quest HQ, we have been reminiscing about all the weird and wonderful fundraising moments that have driven Q4C forward.  Here are a […]
