WOODCOCKS Haworth and Nuttall Solicitors has bolstered the coffers of two Lancashire charities after raising almost £2,500 from a business quiz night.

WHN joined forces with 80 people from across the Bury and Rossendale business community to pit their wits against challenging questions at The Red Hall Hotel in Bury. The event was a huge success, racking-up a total of £2,430 for The Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity and Aching Arms.
