LAST month Dutton Gregory Solicitors hosted a charity quiz and curry night in Winchester.

Fourteen teams battled it out with questions ranging from Love Island to Charles Dickens and everything in-between. As well as testing their grey matter and enjoying good company and curry the night raised awareness and funds for the Romsey Opportunity Group, a local charity that provides support for children with additional needs and their families.

Jon Whettingsteel, partner and family law solicitor, as well as host and quiz master for the evening said: “The night was a great success, with everyone enjoying being able to get together in person again, as well as raising funds and awareness for a really special charity that has provided support for a number of families, including my own.

“We raised just over £1,000 which will make a massive difference for a small charity who receive no government funding, and are entirely reliant on donations and fundraising. This money will go a massive way to helping some very special little people.

“A massive thank you to Dutton Gregory for letting me arrange the event to support the charity and everyone who came along and gave up their time on a cold dark night, and thank you too to the Mercure Wessex Hotel in Winchester for hosting the event and being so accommodating.” Dutton Gregory hope to make this an annual charity event and aim to make next year’s even bigger and better.
