Residents at Churchill Living’s Austen Lodge in Basingstoke were treated to a lively afternoon of music and entertainment as ukulele band 8tt4 performed a fun selection of songs, helping to raise £162 for charity. The event was filled with energy, enthusiasm and plenty of audience participation, with the money raised through donations going to The Link Visiting Scheme charity.
Churchill’s Divisional Marketing Lead Jo Ridehalgh said: “They say music brings people together, and it was great to see everyone enjoying themselves dancing and singing along to some excellent music from the 8tt4 band. Events like this are what the Churchill lifestyle is all about, and it’s a perfect example of the vibrant, friendly and fun-loving community of over 60s we have here at Austen Lodge."
The 8tt4 band will be performing again at Churchill’s nearby Yates Lodge in Farnborough on Friday 13th November, with local over 60s and their families welcome to come along and join the fun.
Both Austen Lodge and Yates Lodge include a stylish collection of new one and two bedroom retirement apartments available to buy or rent now. Each apartment is designed to make life easy for the over 60s, and has a number of safety and security features, such as a 24-hour emergency call line and a video entry system, for complete peace of mind.
