Celia Palmer
I’m Celia and I’m the Activity coordinator here at Edgbaston Beaumont. I previously worked as an activity coordinator in a hostel and am enjoying the shift into the residential setting. I have an arts background so enjoy painting and drawing in my spare time, which hopefully I can share my love for with the residents here. I also enjoy reading, travel, live music and looking after my cats! And copious amounts of tea.

Grease Party
'Grease' came to Edgbaston Beaumont this month and we all enjoyed a party to celebrate the amazing nostalgic musical. Our residents enjoyed a diner experience with 50s Rock and roll music and delicious American food. There were burgers, hotdogs and fries on the menu followed by Ice-cream sundaes. After lunch, we all gathered in the lounge and watched snippets of the musical on the TV and then were entertained by singer Linda. Linda sang songs from Grease and other 50s classics. There was lots of singing and dancing and we all had a fantastic afternoon.
International Dog Day
We had a fantastic day celebrating International Dog Day on 26th August. Our residents took part in a quiz and met our new sensory interactive dog and entered a competition to name him. The winning name was Monty. In the afternoon Debbie, a member of our staff, brought her gorgeous dog Nigel in to meet us. Our residents loved meeting Nigel, he really enjoyed all the attention and fuss from everyone.
