On Wednesday 10th July from 10.30am-12.30 pm, Care UK’s Carpathia Grange on Southampton Road will be bringing Paris to Hythe as it opens its doors for local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.  

The event comes as Carpathia 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, rounders, and wheelchair races.  

Visitors can also enjoy a VIP guest appearance from Scott Endersby, who has recently been crowed England’s Strongest Disabled Man 2024, as well as listen to a live singer and enjoy refreshments from the hydration hub and energy snack station. 

Carpathia Grange will also be hosting a Keep Fit class for the Carpathia Active Aging Squad to participate in.  

Pooja Dhoot, Home Manager at Carpathia 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 Hythe, 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 Carpathia 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!”
