Wolves legend Steve Bull to host fundraising quiz
Fans of quizzes across the Black Country are being invited to join a fundraising evening with a Wolves legend.
Steve Bull will be the quiz master for an online and interactive general knowledge quiz, with all proceeds going to help homeless and vulnerable people in Wolverhampton at the Good Shepherd.
The Good Shepherd have worked during the coronavirus pandemic to support as many people as possible through hot food donations and delivery services, but has struggled with a reduction in funding due to cancelling fundraising events.
The Steve Bull Foundation has agreed to stage the quiz on Friday, July 10 to help the Good Shepherd, having supported the charity in the past with fundraising efforts.
Kirsty Bull, chief fundraiser for the foundation, spoke about the aims of the quiz and the links with the Good Shepherd.
She said: "The foundation is trying to do what we can, when we can to help as many charities as we can and we have supported the Good Shepherd a few times in the past.
"They came to us and asked if we could help them to provide an outdoor shelter to help protect people who are queueing for food from rain and sun.
"Our aim is to raise around £1,000 to help them set up a canopy that can go onto the side of the building."
The quiz starts at 7pm and will be hosted on Zoom and will be played through a smartphone quiz game called Kwizzbit, with Steve Bull asking the questions and participants answering on their tablets or phones.
Teams can be between one and six people and a minimum donation of £10 is requested for the quiz.
Kirsty said the event was part of the foundation's ongoing work to support charities in the region and encouraged as many people as possible to take part.
She said: "We've been in operation for 10 years now and we've worked to help as many charities as we can, particularly during this pandemic.
"We've got this opportunity to do an online quiz and make some money to support a charity that needs something, so it's great to be able to keep doing that."
