Britain's What's On Event Guide
Stockport care home revvs up for ‘Race Against Dementia’ fundraiser
Care UK’s Ladybrook Manor, on Dairyground Road, will be fundraising for Race Against Dementia on Friday 4th July from 2:30pm-4pm, by hosting a Grand Prix Sports Day.
On the day, four teams will compete across six fun, racing-themed challenges, all designed to be inclusive and adaptable so that residents and the community can actively participate.
The red, orange, blue and green teams, inspired by Ferrari, McLaren, Williams and Aston Martin respectively, will take part in challenges including the ‘Hopper Dash 500’ – a space hopper race – and the ‘Hot Wheel Hustle’, a matchbox car and spoon race.
Adding a touch of vintage flair to the day, Ladybrook Manor has also arranged for a display of classic Japanese cars to swing by for residents and guests to enjoy.
This event forms part of the ‘Care UK Grand Prix’, which will see Care UK care homes across the country participating in racing-themed events to raise money for Race Against Dementia - a charity founded by racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, following his wife Helen’s diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia. The charity raises funds for research into the prevention and treatment of dementia. The money raised at these events will go directly to supporting the charity’s efforts.
Susan Cameron, General Manager at Ladybrook Manor, said: “We’re really looking forward to bringing the community together with residents here at Ladybrook Manor for our very own Care UK Grand Prix event. Raising money for vital charities like Race Against Dementia is so important to us and we’re delighted to be able to host such an action-packed and fun-filled event.
