Age Concern Hampshire’s recent Quiz and Curry Night event, held on Friday, October 25th at Lockswood Care and Wellbeing Centre in Locks Heath, was a resounding success. The evening, which brought together staff, volunteers, and members of the community, was a testament to the generosity, community spirit, and shared commitment to supporting older people.
Local residents enjoyed a delightful night filled with music, activities, and delicious food. The Soberton Strummers Ukulele Club provided a lively performance, while a quiz and raffle kept guests entertained. The homemade curry, prepared by the centre’s own chef, Stuart, was also a highlight of the evening and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
