Jewish Blind and Disabled is £32,000 richer thanks to the performance of Rob Rinder in Tuesday’s celebrity edition of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?
Mr Rinder won £64,000 overall, splitting his prize money with Buttle UK – a charity helping UK children and young people in crisis.
He got to the 12th question out of 15, which was about a James Bond film. But having used up his lifelines - and his “phone a friend” Clare Balding being unsure of the answer - he decided to walk away with the prize money he had already secured.
JBD chief executive Lisa Wimborne said: “It is not very often that an independent Jewish charity gets a mention on prime-time national TV and is awarded a generous prize sum, too. Having this recognition and support from Rob Rinder, the son of a tenant, is all the more special. Rob has seen first-hand the impact of our work. What better endorsement can we get?”
