Goodwins Hall Embarks On A Cycle Ride To Paris To Celebrate The Olympics And Support Local Hospice

Residents and team members at Goodwins Hall, in King’s Lynn, are gearing up for a remarkable journey to mark the Paris Olympics.

The ambitious plan involves collectively cycling almost 400 miles on an exercise bike, symbolising the distance from the care home to Paris, all while raising funds for their local hospice, The Norfolk Hospice – Tapping House.

The event is scheduled to coincide with the Paris Olympics, running from August 1 to 11. During this period, Goodwins Hall will be buzzing with Olympic spirit through a variety of themed activities, including virtual armchair travel to France, sampling French cuisine, and participating in the Athena Care Homes Olympics. This internal competition will see residents and the team from Goodwins Hall join their peers from Athena Care Homes family of homes in East Anglia in a series of fun and engaging events.

Flavia Hansell, the Home Manager at Goodwins Hall, will kickstart the cycle ride on Wednesday. She shared her enthusiasm, saying, “At Goodwins, we feel very much part of the local community, and our residents and team are very excited about the cycle ride and the Olympics. I’m hoping as many people as possible will do a stint on the bike, even is just for a short distance.

“We chose to raise money for Tapping House as a fellow provider of care in the King’s Lynn area and an organisation that is always there for everyone – including us here at Goodwins Hall if we need them for help, advice or training in end of life and palliative care.”
