Business owners, professionals, and community leaders gathered for the latest LinkedIn Local Andover event — an evening designed to foster conversation, connection, and community spirit.
Held in the heart of the town, the event provided a relaxed and welcoming environment for local professionals to network, share ideas, and build valuable relationships. Beyond business cards and conversations, the gathering also demonstrated a strong sense of local support, raising £100 for the Andover-based charity ACE (Andover Community Engage).
The donation was presented by Andover Radio & Love Andover’s Ben Tuffin who said:
“ACE is doing incredibly important work in our town — supporting those who need it most and helping bring people together. It’s brilliant to see a room full of professionals not only networking but also giving back to the community in a real and meaningful way.” The gesture served as a fitting reminder that professional networking can not only build business bridges but also help to support meaningful causes within the community.
Andover Community Engage (ACE) is a charitable organisation working for the public benefit, dedicated to creating meaningful opportunities for community engagement among residents of Andover and the surrounding villages.
Through a range of inclusive activities and community-led projects, ACE aims to promote positive wellbeing, build lasting social connections, combat loneliness and isolation, and address the inequalities faced by individuals across all areas of society. Their work is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel connected and valued within their community.
Organisers extended their thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to making the evening such a success.
