Elizabeth Lodge will be handing out gold medals across a range of competitions between its residents
An Enfield care home is limbering up for its very own sporting tournament to celebrate the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Care UK’s Elizabeth Lodge in Pennington Drive will be bringing Paris to Enfield as it opens its doors for local people to enjoy their own version of the games.
The event on Friday (26th) comes as Elizabeth 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 relay races, dartboard games and water games.
Visitors can also enjoy a traditional summer barbecue cooked by the home’s talented head chef alongside ice creams and slushies.
Michelle Sampang, manager of Elizabeth 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 Enfield, 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 Elizabeth 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!”
