The campaign also includes a social media competitio­n asking people to take a picture or video of their home sports day and either comment on Facebook or upload to Instagram with the hashtag #PersimmonS­portsDay to be in with a chance of winning a £250 Amazon voucher.

Nick Phillips, director in charge of Persimmon Homes East Midlands, said: “We are all going through unpreceden­ted times, and we hope that our sports day campaign will bring a smile to people’s faces and help households plan a day of fun and activity. These packs are designed to help inspire the sporting passion of the younger generation.”
