World Cup football theme announced for Care Home Open Week
Championing Social Care has announced that the 2026 Care Home Open Week will run from 15-21 June 2026 with a World Cup football theme.
Care homes are being encouraged to showcase accessible, inclusive football-themed games that bring residents, staff, families and local communities together. Suggested activities include walking football, sitting football, blow football using straws, World Cup watch parties and table‑top games like Subbuteo.
Mitesh Dhanak, Board Member of Championing Social Care and Chair of the Care Home Open Week Committee, says:
“Just like football, great care is all about teamwork, community and heart. This year we’re embracing World Cup fever to show the nation’s real heroes with dedication and passion – the people in social care. We want every care home to feel part of one big national team.”
