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.

Life at Edgbaston Beaumont Care Home
Seaside Beach Party
Our residents, their families and friends had a fantastic time at our Seaside Beach Party. Everyone enjoyed fish and chips for lunch and then spent the afternoon in our garden that we had transformed into 'Beaumont on Sea' for the afternoon. The sun was shining, we all enjoyed ice creams, a splash in the pool, building sand castles and amazing live entertainment from Robert and his Accordion.
Summer Musical
Our residents thoroughly enjoyed a fantastic performance of ‘When I’m Cleaning Windows’ by Northeast Producers Ltd. It was an amazing show, the atmosphere was electric and there was lots of smiles, laughter and singing along.
Alpaca Visit
We all had a wonderful afternoon meeting Ted and Gordie the friendly alpacas from 4getmenott smallholding in Alrewas.
Our residents had the opportunity to get up and close with the alpacas, stroke their soft fur, learn all about them and appreciate what beautiful, calm, intelligent animals they are.
60's Party
We had a lovely party in the garden and went back in time to the swinging 60s. We were entertained by the amazing Melissa who sang an array of 1960s hits for us. Everyone sang along, danced and moved to the music and the sun was shining. It was a wonderful afternoon, and it was lovely to be joined by some of our residents families and friends.
Tropical Island Beach Party
We had an amazing time in the garden at our Tropical Island Beach Party. We enjoyed fruity cocktails, music and lots of fun in the sun. We were entertained by the brilliant Damian who got everyone up dancing and singing along. It was lovely to be joined by some of our residents families for the afternoon. Damian performed a range of music for us which included reggae and party hits which got us all in the mood. We were also entertained by one of our lovely resident's family members, who sang and played guitar for us which was a lovely way to end the afternoon.
Wimbledon
In addition to watching the Wimbledon Tennis Championships our residents enjoyed a host of Wimbledon themed activities, which included a testing their knowledge in a Wimbledon quiz and a Wimbledon themed art session with Fiona from Creative Mojo.
