A rugby club's Christmas party raised £800 for a children's cancer charity.
Romsey Rugby Club's annual festive event was a sell-out, with the clubhouse packed with people celebrating the season and raising money for Alfie's Wish.
The charity supports families dealing with childhood cancer.
The Michelmersh Silver Band provided entertainment, playing Christmas classics, with the crowd joining in for the final song, Fairytale of New York.
"After losing our son Alfie on January 2, 2020, at just five-years-old, we understand how incredibly tough this time of year can be. It is why memory making is so important to us.
"Events like these allow us to offer support to families and help them create cherished memories during their most difficult moments.
"We want to say a massive thank you to Romsey Rugby Club for raising an incredible £800 at their Christmas party. The atmosphere at the party was amazing, and we were truly honoured to be a part of it.
"It is events like these that show the power of community, and we are so thankful for Romsey Rugby Club's support in helping us make a difference to children and families who need it the most."
Matt Campbell, director of business at Romsey Rugby Club, said: "A huge thank you to our members and to everyone from the local communities that attended the event.
"Our aim was to not only bring everyone together for a festive celebration but also to enter into the festive spirit by collaborating with a fantastic local charity in Alfie's Wish.
"Your support will help give some families in very challenging circumstances some memories that will be cherished forever. Thank you and Merry Christmas."
The celebration followed a high-scoring league match between Romsey and Christchurch, which ended 50-38 in favour of the home side.
This victory keeps Romsey in second place in the league standings, just behind unbeaten Andover.
Guests were treated to catering throughout the evening, and there was a raffle with prizes donated by businesses and individuals.
These included tickets to England v France, donated by Romsey Rugby Club, and prizes from The Wheatsheaf, The Hunters Inn, The Cocky Anchor, Golden Gecko, Kimbridge Barn, The Barbers Room, ASP Expert Haircare, Romsey Fast Fit, Manitou, Iconic Nails, Charlie's Ink, and several personal donations.
