RESIDENTS at Hailsham House in Hailsham, East Sussex embraced the ‘Paralympic spirit’ with their very own competitions held across three separate days.
Residents from the care home’s four suites – Willow, Beech, Holly, and Orchard – took part in a variety of sports, promoting activity and inclusion for all.
Events included boccia, netball, tennis, volleyball, shot put, badminton, table hockey, blind football and a 400m wheelchair walk. Each resident contributed to their team’s success by earning points for participation, with Willow ultimately topping the ‘medal table.’
Manager Rui Santos said: “It has been wonderful to see the enthusiasm and determination of our residents throughout these Paralympics.
“The sense of teamwork, friendly competition and joy has been uplifting for everyone involved. The residents have embraced the spirit of the games and have shown us all that age and ability are no barriers to taking part in the fun.”
