Britain's What's On Event Guide
Lowestoft 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 27th July, from 11am-5pm, Care UK’s Britten Court, on Love Road, will be bringing Paris to Lowestoft as it opens its doors for local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.
The event comes as Lowestoft 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, relay, and wheelbarrow races.
Visitors can also enjoy a traditional summer barbecue cooked by the home’s talented Head Chef, Kamal Djedda, and join in with karaoke.
Chloe Swarbrick, Home Manager at Care UK’s Britten 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 Lowestoft, 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 Britten 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!”
