Severn Hospice online quiz returns – with special guest Joe Hart back asking questions
After the success of its first-ever virtual quiz, a Shropshire charity is repeating the event on Friday.
Severn Hospice ran its first Facebook quiz earlier this month and more than 250 people took part – raising £3,441.
Former Shrewsbury Town and England goalkeeper Joe Hart has pledged his support again and will be back in his quizmaster’s chair with another round of questions.
Hannah Gamston, area fundraiser for the hospice said: “We were really bowled over with the support from everyone’s sofa, including Joe’s, and the quiz raised a fantastic amount. We are so grateful to everyone who played and hope they’re ready for another chance to test their general knowledge.”
More Covid-19 coverage:
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the charity has revealed it is losing up to £100,000 a week. Its events have been cancelled, 28 shops closed, and fundraisers confined to their homes.
“We can’t stop caring,” said Hannah. “So, we really do need people to support us from their sofas and take part in the quiz.
“Will you challenge the neighbours, take on your family or just have a laugh with your friends? It’s up to you.”
People wishing to take part can go to bit.ly/Severnquiz2 and be ready to join the Severn Hospice Facebook page at 7pm tomorrow.
