Skills for Care was delighted to support Wimbledon in offering 300 pairs of tickets for free to people working across social care.
Wimbledon offered the free tickets to social care workers to attend their ‘middle Sunday’ event which sees people from across the community invited to attend the tournament for free.
As well as social care workers, NHS workers, local community groups and schools, and Ukrainian refugees were also invited to enjoy the event for free.
The event took place on Sunday 3 July, with 300 social care workers offered a pair of tickets to enjoy the day.
Wimbledon says the tickets were offered to the social care sector as recognition of all of your hard work and dedication over these challenging past few years.
Skills for Care supported Wimbledon in connecting with the sector to offer out the tickets by sharing the opportunity across our website, social media, and other communications channels and after we shared the news the tickets were quickly snapped up by excited tennis fans across the sector.
Speaking of the event one lucky attendee said:
Thank you for the tickets, myself and my husband had the most wonderful day at Wimbledon.
One manager who applied for tickets for two members of her team said:
I nominated our two team leaders and had the absolute delight in surprising them this evening. The past few months have been particularly harsh. These two team leaders have been steadfast in keeping our standards high and supporting new staff. Our service would not have made it without them. That I can give them a once in a lifetime ticket means so much.
Another said:
Thank you so much, this will be an experience of a lifetime after the COVID-19 hardships.
We hope that everyone who was lucky enough to attend had a great day.
