A CARE HOME in Bromsgrove is helping its residents get in the sporting spirit by hosting its very own Olympic inspired activity games day.
Bromsgrove’s Chandler Court care home is joining in with The Big Care UK Sports Day, which sees over 130 Care UK homes across the UK host sports days for the local community and showcase what life in a care home is really like.
Guests can soak up the sporting atmosphere and, for those daring to compete, have the chance to win their own gold medals with an afternoon of fun and games, including egg-and-spoon races, tug of war and a wheelchair race.
Anyone is welcome at the event from 11am to 4pm on Saturday, July 27, with visitors and members of the public encouraged to go along and enjoy the fun.
Visitors can also enjoy a traditional summer barbecue cooked by the home’s talented head chef, which they can enjoy while listening to live entertainment from performer Startime Variety, who will be performing a medley of summer songs and will be sure to get the party started.
Tina Lilly, home manager at Chandler Court, said: “We are part of a strong community here in Bromsgrove, and days like this are a fantastic way of bringing us all together for a little healthy competition and to celebrate this year’s summer of sport.
“The day not only promises a lot of laughter and enjoyment for all involved, but also is an excellent way for residents to meet and mingle with lots of new faces – and some familiar ones – while keeping active. We can’t wait until kick-off.”
