Four Generations Put Their Heads Together

Well done to "Sylvia's Dream Team" who were the winners of the Embracing Age Big Christmas Quiz. The team consisted of Sylvia, a resident in one of the care homes we support in Hampshire and members of her family - four generations in total!

Lynette, Sylvia's daughter, said "We were all thrilled to hear that we had won the quiz bought at the Care Homes Christmas Fayre. Three generations sat pondering over it that day, followed by a further session with four generations in total at a pre-Christmas lunch. I think the age spread was very helpful with a lot of the questions on decades gone by. As a family of pub quizzers it was enjoyed by all with the bonus of monies going to a great cause."

We loved picturing Sylvia's family all sitting round together working through the questions; one of Sylvia's grandchildren said "Grandma has always enjoyed doing crosswords and quizzes, especially at Christmas, which is a way of getting all the family to join in. Christmas day wouldn't be the same without a quiz!" 

Sylvia said, "I'm looking forward to going out to a nearby Costa with family to enjoy our prize voucher. Sometimes my daughter will pick up a takeaway Costa and we will sit by the water at Hamble in the summer."

Their winning score was 120 (out of a possible 165 marks), just 4 points ahead of joint second place teams. 

Thank you to all the individuals and teams who took part in our quiz - together you raised an incredible £550! Your support will enable us to bring companionship to more care home residents this year.
