The Summer Olympic Games are due to start in Paris this Friday, 26th July, and #TeamCHFT is gearing up to celebrate. The Games will see athletes from 206 countries compete for medals in a range of sports.

Within our Trust we have colleagues from more than 76 countries around the world, all united in delivering compassionate care for our patients and one culture of care for one another.

To celebrate our diversity and help connect people this summer, our Workforce and OD teams have designed a range of sport-themed activities that colleagues can participate in to celebrate the Olympic and Paralympic games and win prizes for you and your team.

Whether it’s dressing your work area in support of a particular country, an athletic challenge or taking part in a craft competition, there is something for everyone to come together and get involved. See all the different ways you can take part in the Summer of Sport activity brochure.

Polly Shunje, Claims Administrator, said: "It is so great to see so many colleagues who have taken time out of their busy schedules to come and support and raise flags of different countries in celebration of the Olympics and Paralympics.  It just shows how diverse our Trust is and what a strength that is."
