Celia used to write a new quiz each month and originally, it used to be sold from the Friends of NGH shop.
Celia started volunteering at Northampton General Hospital in 1999 and currently volunteers on the South Entrance reception desk.
Over the past 18 years of running this quiz, Celia has raised money for a very wide range of different areas of the hospital.
Most recently, proceeds from Celia's Quiz have supported Urology and Paddington Ward, with a final donation of £460 for Talbot Butler Ward.
"After all this time we are sorry to say Celia has decided to stop the quiz and wanted her final donation to go to Talbot Butler Ward, which is close to her heart," said Tracy Burgess, Volunteer Services, "Even though Celia will no longer be running the quiz we are delighted she will continue to volunteer on the South Entrance Desk." “I’d just like to take this opportunity to give my heartfelt thanks for all of the kind words and messages I’ve received since last week.
I thoroughly enjoyed bringing the monthly quizzes to you all, and raising much needed funds to so many areas that will always be close to my heart.
Thank you again regards, Celia Penn” Thank you so much Celia, for your incredible support for the hospital over the years, you are a star!
The end of your quiz is certainly the end of an era.
