Shinfield care home hosts sports day for local community

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

On Monday 22^nd July, from 10am, Care UK’s Parsons Grange on Westall Street will be bringing Paris to Shinfield as it opens its doors to local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.

The event comes as Parsons Grange 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 a day of fun and games, including egg-and-spoon races, tug of war and other Sports Day classics.

Visitors can also enjoy traditional summer refreshments, while listening to live entertainment throughout the day. 

Rozina Ali, Home Manager at Parsons Grange, 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 Shinfield, 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 Parsons Grange.

“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!”
