Charities have the chance to get a piece of the action at the Medway heat of the KM Big Charity Quiz on Friday, March 9.

Good causes are invited to submit teams for the event being staged by the KM Group’s charity department for the chance to win a share of the charity pot.

All funds raised on the night will be boosted pound for pound by Barclays bank ensuring a premium payout for charity.
