And they’re off!🏃♂️➡️
Darlington’s Care Home Olympics returned for an incredible second year on Friday.
Organised by Grosvenor Park Care Home in Darlington, this year's event brought together 7 local care homes, including fellow Marton Care Home Riverside View Care Home, for a day of fantastic friendly competition.
Residents and team members went head-to-head across 9 classic sports day activities as family and friends supported from the sidelines. We were also pleased to welcome children from Maidendale Nursery, who cheered our teams on with brilliant enthusiasm and everyone enjoyed a well-deserved treat from Nevison’s Ice Cream, too.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended, and especially to our amazing staff volunteers who gave their time to make the day so special. Seeing the joy on the faces of our residents and team members made all the hard work worthwhile.
We are already excited for next year!
