Welcome to our Charities page
Here you can find out about what is going on around the county to help others...
Big Quiz
Each year the Kent Messenger Group and the children's road safety charity Kent and Medway Walking Bus Group team up to organise a series of mammoth wine and wisdom events around the county.
Heats of the KM Big Quiz take place in Ashford, Canterbury, Maidstone and Medway and raise approximately £20,000 for good causes each year.
The top teams from the event are invited to the county final in December which takes place at the Shepherd Neame Brewery in Faversham. For details on the next KM Big Quiz event click the 'Find out More' button or view www.kmbigquiz.co.uk where you can also book and pay for your table online.
