On Thursday 18th July, from 2.30pm-4.30pm, Care UK’s Ancasta Grove on Barnes Lane, Sarisbury Green, will be bringing Paris to Southampton as it opens its doors to local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.
The event comes as Ancasta Grove 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 walking race, boules and beanbag toss.
Visitors can also enjoy a hydration station and nutritional snacks, while enjoying live entertainment from a local DJ.
Joel Ignacio, Home Manager at Ancasta Grove, 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 Sarisbury Green, 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 Ancasta Grove.
“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!”
