A fundraising quiz night is being organised to support My Sight Nottinghamshire, a local charity that helps people living with sight loss.
The event will take place on Friday 1 November at 7:30pm at The British Legion in Radcliffe-on-Trent. Attendees can enjoy a lively evening of trivia, a Ploughman’s supper, bar and a raffle all while raising funds for a great cause.
Tickets are £12 per person, which includes supper. Teams will consist of eight people, and participants can either form their own team or be allocated to one. Solo attendees or smaller groups will be placed with friendly and knowledgeable teammates, ensuring a fun night for everyone.
The funds raised from this event will directly benefit My Sight Nottinghamshire, an independent charity that has been supporting people with sight loss for 180 years. Each year, the charity helps around 2,500 individuals across Nottinghamshire, offering emotional support and practical advice to help them maintain independence and improve their quality of life.
The charity offers a wide range of services from emotional and practical support to physical and leisure activities designed to reduce loneliness and isolation – including social groups, arts programs and a choir specifically for visually impaired individuals. They also provide sight loss awareness training for professionals. These programs empower people with visual impairments, ensuring they have the resources and opportunities needed to live independent, fulfilling lives.
Sight loss can deeply affect many areas of life, including physical health, mental well-being, and social connections. With the number of people living with sight loss expected to double by 2050, the demand for the charity’s services is growing. The funds from the quiz night will help My Sight Nottinghamshire continue offering its vital services to more people across the region.
The quiz night is not just about trivia—it’s about making a difference. By attending, participants will help My Sight Nottinghamshire continue its work and expand its services for those living with sight loss. Whether joining with friends or meeting new people, attendees are guaranteed a fun and meaningful evening.
