Britain's What's On Event Guide
Going for gold! St Ives care home hosts sports day for local community
With the Olympics officially under way, a local care home is limbering up for its very own sporting tournament.
On Friday 19th July from 2.30pm-4pm, Care UK’s Field Lodge on London Road will be bringing Paris to St Ives as it opens its doors for local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.
The event comes as Field Lodge 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 ring toss, bean bag target game, skittles, all of which are accessible for wheelchair users.
Visitors can also enjoy refreshments while listening to live music from entertainer, Johnny Parrish – sure to get the party started.
Linda Martinez, Home Manager at Field Lodge, 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 St Ives, 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 Field Lodge.
“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!”
