With Olympian levels of enthusiasm, the residents competed in a wide range of fun sporting activities to claim victory.

The activities were all fully accessible meaning all residents were able to take part and have fun.

Sylvia, one of the residents at the home, said: “I really enjoyed the day.

"The other residents and staff all got involved it was really fun.”

All residents won a gold medal at the awards ceremony, to congratulate them on their hard work and determination.
