With the Olympics fast approaching, Care UK's Grenville House is limbering up for their very own sporting tournaments.

On Friday 26th July, from 1.30pm-5.30pm, Care UK's Greville House, on Greville Road, will be bringing Paris to Richmond as it opens its doors to local people to enjoy their own version of the Games.

The event comes as Greville House 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.

At Greville House, guests can sample food from all over the world – representing the diverse cultures of the home's residents. There will be singing by pupils from St Elizabeth's School, along with live entertainment during the afternoon. Sports will include curling with mops, an egg and spoon race and a three-legged race.

Irone Johnson-Dyer, Home Manager at Greville House, added: "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!"
