RESIDENTS of residential homes across the borough enjoyed an evening of Victorian music while raising money for charity.

More than 170 people were entertained by amateur dramatic company The Entire Company at St George's CofE School, Meadow Road, Gravesend.

Residents of care and residential homes were invited along to the annual event.

The Old Time Music Show was originally planned as a one-off but proved so popular the London-based theatre company returns every year.

The £660 raised from ticket sales was split between the Ellenor Hospice, Dartford, and family support charity Home-Start.

Organiser David Evans planned the event while involved in community-development work.

He said: "Everyone had a good time. It's nice to do things for older people."
