The Chase’ celebrity Hosts Care Home Quiz Night for Charity…

Residents, families and staff at Sanctuary Care’s Iffley Residential and Nursing Home enjoyed a night to remember last week as the home hosted a lively, charity quiz with a very special guest at the centre.

The Oxfordshire based care home welcomed friends and family for a fun filled games night inspired by the classic TV show The Chase. Organised by Iffley’s new Activities Coordinator, Sarah Sherriff, the evening brought the community together for a lively test of general knowledge, laughter and intergenerational fun.

The highlight of the night came with a surprise guest appearance from The Chase star Darragh Ennis, who delighted guests by hosting the quiz himself. His humour and charisma quickly had the room buzzing, with teams eagerly partaking in the questions.

Family members were full of praise for the occasion, with one guest saying Darragh’s presence made the evening “truly special, and all for a great cause”. Residents were equally thrilled, enjoying the chance to chat with the TV personality, pose for photographs and share stories. One resident described him as a “down to earth guy who was so friendly to talk to”.

Beyond the entertainment, the evening had an important purpose. The event raised £200 for the NSPCC, Sanctuary’s charity of the year.  Staff and residents alike were proud to see the community come together to make a meaningful difference.

Activities Coordinator at the not-for-profit care home, Sarah was delighted with the evening, sharing “coming together as a home to create these memorable experiences is at the core of what we do here, it’s so rewarding to see the residents having so much fun!”  The success of the quiz night truly reflects Iffley’s commitment to creating engaging experiences that enrich residents’ lives and strengthen connections with their wider community.
