Followers Quiz Night Success

Blues Foundation would like to thank the Bedford Rugby Followers Association who held a Charity Quiz Night earlier this month to raise vital funds for our charity.

Held in The Scrum Bar, the event was extremely well attended and concluded with over £600 being donated to allow Blues Foundation to continue upcoming flagship activation and look into further project development.

Blues Foundation were delighted to be announced as the Followers’ charity partner for the 2021/22 Championship rugby season with this event the latest to help support our future work. The proceeds will be spread across a variety of outlets with the continuing aim of helping as many people within Bedfordshire as possible.
