Izzy, wizzy, let’s get quizzy! Sooty hosts RNIB quiz for children across Bedfordshire

The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) is encouraging children across Bedfordshire to beat boredom by joining a Facebook Live quiz on Thursday hosted by the nation’s favourite magic bear.

The virtual event, which will begin at 2pm and last half an hour, will be hosted by Sooty and The Sooty Show’s TV presenter Richard Cadell. It has been designed to help alleviate the boredom which children may be feeling due to coronavirus restrictions.

The event is free for anyone to take part, with an option to make a donation to Sooty’s longstanding charity partner, RNIB, which has worked with The Sooty Show since the 1960s.
