Josie Gibson brings surprise and joy to Bristol as tombola's Chief Moment Maker
Bristol native Josie Gibson takes on the role of tombola's Chief Moment Maker, bringing joy and surprise to the community with her team of 'Moment Makers'.
Bristolian Josie Gibson has been appointed as Britain’s leading bingo site, tombola’s first ever Chief Moment Maker - a brand-new role dedicated to spreading joy and unexpected fun across the nation.
She debuted the role by shining a spotlight on one of tombola’s unsung community heroes - Adrian from Malvern - a dedicated bin collector and beloved pillar of the community.
As part of the initiative, Josie treated Adrian to a day he’d never forget - stepping into his shoes and uniform to attempt his daily rounds while he takes a well-deserved break.
Her role continued in Bristol where, along with her team of ‘Moment Makers’, Josie surprised members of the public with different fun treats ranging from street parties to bingo trivia in exchange for free lunches at viral hotspot ‘Sandwich Sandwich’.

“We hope to keep surprising people like Adrian, showing that even the smallest moments can be made into something really special.”
