Age Concern Hampshire’s Quiz and Curry Night proved to be a huge success, reflecting the generosity, community spirit, and shared commitment to supporting older people. The fundraising event, held on Friday, 25th October at Lockswood Care and Wellbeing Centre in Locks Heath, brought together staff, volunteers, and members of the wider community for an evening filled with fun, laughter, and goodwill.
Local residents gathered for a delightful night of music, activities, and delicious food. The event featured a lively performance by the Soberton Strummers Ukulele Club, alongside an engaging quiz and raffle, which kept the guests entertained. A highlight of the evening was the homemade curry, prepared by the centre’s own chef, Stuart, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Your contributions helped make the evening a wonderful success. The funds raised will allow us to make a significant and positive difference to the lives of older people in the local community.”
