Broadcaster Alastair Stewart OBE will host Brooke’s first-ever virtual Christmas quiz on Facebook Live and Zoom on Wednesday 16 December at 7.30pm.
The quiz is free to enter, although an optional donation is encouraged. Throughout this difficult year, horses, donkeys and mules have continued to work and provide a lifeline for their communities. Now, Brooke is urging supporters to show kindness at Christmas and help bring happiness to these animals and those who depend on them.
Earlier this year, hundreds of supporters took part in a string of virtual quizzes hosted by Alastair and comedian Rory Bremner, raising almost £5000 for working horses, donkeys and mules.
Alastair said:
I’m thrilled to be putting on my quizmaster hat once again and getting stuck in to a festive evening of quizzing and giving. Earlier this year I was bowled over by the generosity of Brooke’s supporters and can’t wait to raise even more money to help hard-working animals and their communities. So, put on your finest Christmas jumper, grab a warm mince pie and join me for some goodwill and festive spirit.”
Supporters will also have the opportunity to enter a special prize draw from now until the day of the quiz to be in with the chance of winning one of five exclusive prizes, including;
- Meet Charlotte Dujardin – 2 tickets to a masterclass with Charlotte Dujardin including a meet and greet following the show and a Lemieux Fleece Rug.
- Private riding lesson with Gemma Tattersall plus a £50 voucher to spend at Premier Equine.
- A day of filming with This Esme and Natasha Baker, a ThisEsme merchandise bundle and a signed print of Natasha’s Olympic horse Cabral.
Online entries cost £5 and winners will be drawn on Monday 21 December.
About Brooke
Brooke is an international charity that protects and improves the lives of the working horses, donkeys and mules that give people in the developing world the opportunity to work their way out of poverty. Over 100 million of these animals are currently working worldwide, earning an income that around 600 million people rely on to put food on their tables, send their children to school and build better futures for themselves and their families. Sadly, many working horses, donkeys and mules are suffering, so Brooke works in more than 11 developing countries, with owners, communities, service providers, governments and international organisations to make long lasting improvements to the lives of animals and their owners.
