A series of care homes, including one in Jarrow, will invite the public to a World Cup watch party.

Anchor care homes across the North, including South Tyneside home Palmersdene, are inviting local people to come together and enjoy the football this summer as they host World Cup Socials during Care Home Open Week.

Homes will open their doors for England’s first game against Croatia on Wednesday, June 17, welcoming older people – particularly those who may otherwise be watching alone – to join residents.

David Wood, Community Partnership Manager for the North at Anchor, said: “We’re really pleased to be opening our doors and inviting local people to join us. It’s a chance to enjoy the matches, meet new people and feel part of a welcoming community.”

Anyone interested in attending a World Cup Social can contact the home directly.
