Strictly Inverness contestant to host curry and beer in Alness in aid of Highland Hospice and Inverness ice centre
A curry and beer night is set to take place in Alness in aid of charity.
Becky Oman (29) is taking part in Strictly Inverness, which sees Highlanders take part in intensive dance training over five months.
All of it is in aid of the Highland Hospice and Inverness Ice Centre.
Alongside learning to dance and performing, contestants must also host a range of events to boost their fundraising efforts.
Becky’s beer and curry night is taking place at Cafe India in Alness on April 28 with sittings from 5pm until 9pm.
She has decided to take part in the competition in memory of her grandfather.
Becky said: “I went my whole life not losing any of my family members - to losing my granny, granda, auntie and uncle within a few years of each other and very quickly after diagnosis.
“I couldn’t live with the helpless feeling I had after losing my Granda in October 2024, and trying to raise money for charities and give back to people was the only way I felt like I could be useful.
“My granny and granda loved to dance and one of my favourite videos is of him shaking his little hips to the Eagles at my wedding. I know he would be looking down with a big grin on his face proud as punch, watching me.”
The cost of the beer and curry night is £14.95. Places can be booked by contacting Contact Cafe India Alness on Facebook Messenger or by phone 01349 884656.
