Going for gold! Thame care home hosts sports day for local community 

12th July 2024

With the Olympics fast approaching, a local care home is limbering up for its very own sporting tournament.

On Saturday 20th July, from 11am to 4.30pm, Care UK’s Cuttlebrook Hall, on Stock Road, will be bringing Paris to Thame as it opens its doors for local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.

The event comes as Cuttlebrook Hall 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, tug of war and shot put.

Visitors can also enjoy a traditional summer barbecue cooked by the home’s talented head chef, while listening to music.

Alana Corr, Home Manager at Cuttlebrook Hall, 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 Thame, and days like this are a fantastic way of bringing everyone 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 Cuttlebrook Hall.

“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!”

It is not a grief support group or counselling session. These sessions have no agenda, objectives, or themes, allowing for organic, group-directed conversations about anything related to death, from end-of-life planning to fears and feelings, fostering open sharing in a respectful, confidential space.
