Bromsgrove 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 Saturday 27^th July, from 11am to 4pm, Care UK’s Chandler Court, on Recreation Road, will be bringing Paris to Bromsgrove as it opens its doors for local people to enjoy their own version of the Games. 

The event comes as Chandler Court 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 egg-and-spoon races, tug of war and a wheelchair race.

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’re delighted to be welcoming the local community to join our own sporting celebrations.  

“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, all while showcasing exactly what life is like here at Chandler Court.

“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!”
