Cringleford 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 Sunday 28^th July from 2.30pm, Care UK’s Cavell Court, on Dragonfly Lane, will be bringing Paris to Cringleford as it opens its doors for local people to enjoy their own version of the Games. 

The event comes as Cavell 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, hoopla and bean-bag high-jump. 

Visitors can also enjoy French-themed refreshments, which they can enjoy while listening to entertainment from the team who will perform songs for the guests. 

Karen Curle, Home Manager at Cavell 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 Cringleford, 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 Cavell 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!”
