We were thrilled to host our second Sports Day with Ballagh Care! 🎉

Back to the Weeley Community Centre, the venue where it all started in 2024.

Last year’s event was packed with friendly competition among the three amazing care homes of Ballagh Care.

Winsford, Gairloch, and Cavendish came ready to compete in their annual Sports Day, supported by their dedicated teams, friends, and family.

Since all three homes are well-acquainted with our seated sports, we wasted no time explaining the rules and jumped right into a game of Rugby. Just a reminder, these are adapted seated sports, so no tackling or scrums—everyone stayed safe and sound!

We then moved on to a mix of other fun games like hockey, tennis, and the coconut shy. It was heartwarming to see everyone fully engaged, smiling, and embracing the spirit of healthy competition.

And the champion of the day was... CAVENDISH!!! 🏆 After handing out awards, we couldn’t resist getting everyone up for a dance, blasting The Hokey Cokey to get everyone involved.

A special thank you to all of our team at RISE for putting so much effort in to making a memorable day. Gracie Taylor Zoe Usedon Jade Robinson.

Until next time, Ballagh Care!!!!!!

We had such an incredible time at The Zone in Chelmsford which is a life skills centre for young adults with learning disabilities or complex needs.

As you can see in the pictures, we adapted our existing 'Adapted Seated Sports' to ensure that everyone was included and able to get involved.

Tailoring the cricket to use a ramp to hit the stumps shows how Laura quickly adapted our session to cater to the needs of the participants.

We have recently been having more involvement with learning disabilities and complex needs and finding new ways to bring our service to the community.

We are really enjoying this new direction we are working in, and we are happy to speak to other similar day/life skills centres to arrange a free taster session to show you how Rise can help raise spirits and reach goals.

If you would like to talk to us about coming in for a Free Taster Session please contact us on info.essex@rise.life, or you can call directly on 01376 314090.

At Rise, our seated sports sessions aren’t just about physical activity, they’re about connection, confidence, and community.

Let’s redefine what it means to be sporty - on wheels, on chairs, on your terms.

We had a great time at The Red House, Residential Home this week getting stuck in to some volleyball!

The energy was electric and certainly matched that of the famous volleyball scene in Top Gun!

At RISE we are able to adapt pretty much any sport into a seated sport, and we love trying to tie it in with what is going on in the sporting world.

If you haven't booked in a Free Taster Session - then get in touch!

We can run sessions in Care Homes, your own home 1-1, Community Centres, Day Centres, Assisted Living and Independent Living.

Whether you’re new to sports or a seasoned player, there’s no better time to get moving, meet new people, and feel that endorphin boost!

We believe sport should be inclusive, fun, and adapted to all abilities- so everyone can experience the benefits of staying active, regardless of ability.
