Telephone Quiz

Stay connected, have fun and put your general knowledge to the test without leaving home. Our Telephone Quiz brings people with sight loss together for a friendly and accessible quiz over the phone, offering a great way to socialise, challenge yourself and enjoy regular contact with others wherever you live.

About this activity

Our Telephone Quiz is a popular weekly activity that helps people stay connected from the comfort of their own home. Participants simply join the group call at the arranged time and take part in a light-hearted quiz covering a wide range of topics.

The quiz is about much more than answering questions – it’s an opportunity to enjoy conversation, laughter and friendship with others who understand the experience of living with sight loss. Whether you’re highly competitive or simply enjoy taking part, everyone is welcome.

It’s an ideal activity for people who may find travelling difficult or who prefer to take part from home.
