Story
Radnor House Residential Care Home are getting ready for a full week of energy, laughter and a little healthy competition this National Sports Day for Care!! Fantastic benefits for residents & staff as well as raising money for a wonderful cause! - Regular low impact exercise in care homes can be especially powerful for both physical and mental well-being and it doesn’t need to be intense. Gentle activities like stretching, walking, chair exercises, or light resistance work improve mobility, circulation, strength, as well as reducing falls risk. They also boost mood, confidence, energy, ease anxiety, and encourage social connection.
Social care is the backbone of society and Care workers are the backbone of our communities, often sacrificing their own well-being to care for others. With your help, The Care Workers’ Charity can continue to provide financial aid, mental health resources, and advocacy for these everyday heroes i.e. grants, therapy/counselling, training etc.
National Sports Day 2026 is a week-long programme designed to bring care homes, workplaces and communities together through movement, teamwork and fundraising, all in support of care workers across the UK. Want to join us in making a difference? We're raising money to benefit Care Workers Support, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to our sector.
National Sports Day is about much more than sport. It is about bringing people together, boosting wellbeing and raising vital funds so The Care Workers’ Charity can continue providing crisis grants and mental health support to care workers when they need it most.
