Going for gold! Chester 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 Thursday 25th July, from 11am to 3pm, Care UK’s Deewater Grange, on Chester Road, will be bringing Paris to Chester as it opens its doors for local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.

The event comes as Deewater 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 an afternoon of fun and games, including egg-and-spoon races, darts, and a basketball competition.

Everyone is encouraged to dress up in 80s exercise wear, and the team will be wearing Lycra, leg warmers and sweat bands. Visitors can also enjoy a traditional summer barbecue cooked by the home’s talented head chef, while listening to music.

In attendance will also be Care UK’s Abney Court, Hollins Park, Station House, Oxbow Manor, Pinetum, Paisley, Riverside and Oakfield Croft.

Sally Cooper, Home Manager at Deewater 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 Chester, and days like this are a fantastic way of bringing us 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 Deewater Grange.

“The day not only promises 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!”
