As part of our Centenary Charities programme, we were proud to recently host our first-ever virtual charity quiz in support of 1625 Independent People – an organisation that works tirelessly to support young people at risk of, or currently experiencing, homelessness.
The event brought together colleagues, clients, and friends from across the industry for an evening of friendly competition, laughs, and meaningful fundraising.
The quiz was hosted by Richard Kelso and Michael Gooch from our South West office, alongside Jenny Harvie-Miller from our Glasgow office, who did a brilliant job keeping the energy high and the questions flowing.
A Fantastic Turnout
We were delighted to welcome 11 teams to the quiz, including three from within Mac Mic Group, and eight from a range of organisations across the built environment and planning sector.

And the Winners Are...
Congratulations to ‘Foragin Free’ from Origin3, who claimed the top spot and earned well-deserved bragging rights!
We also want to acknowledge all the teams who got involved, many of whom brought their A-game and helped make the night a success.
Making a Real Difference
We’re thrilled to share that the event raised a total of £4,000, which will go directly to 1625 Independent People to support their work with vulnerable young people. From emergency accommodation to mental health support and skills development, the charity provides vital services to help young people build brighter, more secure futures.
A Huge Thank You
To everyone who took part, helped spread the word, or made a donation — thank you.
We’re already looking forward to the next one!
