Cobham care home hosts sports day for local community

With the Olympics fast approaching, a local care home is limbering up for its very own sporting tournament.

On Wednesday 3^rd July, Care UK’s Tiltwood, on Hogshill Lane, will be bringing Paris to Cobham as it opens its doors to local people to enjoy their own version of the Games. 

The event comes as Tiltwood joins 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 bean bag toss, archery and bowling. 

Pupils and team members from Montessori in Cobham will also be attending the event and participating in the games alongside Tiltwood residents. 

George Sargent, Home Manager at Tiltwood, said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming local people to join our own sporting celebrations.  

“We are part of a strong community here in Cobham, 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, all while showcasing exactly what life is like here at Tiltwood.

“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!”
