Bluebird Care team try out X-Cube at new activity zone

Bluebird Care Andover and Stockbridge was invited to try out the X-Cube Immersion, a new digital escape room experience recently launched at the Riverside Activity Zone in Andover.

Valley Leisure hosted the exclusive session as a gesture of appreciation for the care team’s "outstanding support" for vulnerable people across the Test Valley.

Norman Murphy, managing director of Bluebird Care Andover and Stockbridge, said: "Our team had an amazing time enjoying the new X-Cube experience, and we're incredibly grateful to Valley Leisure for their generous invitation. It's a great example of how community partnerships can promote wellbeing and showcase the brilliant activities available locally."

The X-Cube Immersion is described as the next generation of escape rooms.

Groups, families and parties work together to complete fun challenges, solve puzzles, and crack codes against the clock.

Valley Leisure is an independent charitable trust based in Andover, dedicated to inspiring people to move more and feel better through a wide range of health, wellbeing, and entertainment services.

These include a therapy centre, exercise classes, and community clubs.

Ben Thambipillai, centre manager at the Riverside Activity Zone, said: "We were delighted to treat the Bluebird Care team to this unique experience. Like many of our activities, the X-Cube is a brilliant experience that encourages teamwork and perfectly supports our mission of helping local people feel better through activity and entertainment."

Bluebird Care, rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), provides personalised care to people of all ages in their own homes.

The team supports individuals in Andover, Abbotts Ann, Chilbolton, Goodworth Clatford, Thruxton, Stockbridge, Broughton, and King’s Somborne.

The X-Cube experience is the first of its kind in the UK and has just launched in Andover.
