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
Herstory of Mayfair
Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.
We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas. The experience was truly enjoyed by all.
History of Wall's icecream
Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration on National Ice Cream Day. Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, sharing fascinating details about the brand since its launch in 1922. We learned about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, and Carte d'Or.
Residents were treated to a singalong to Cornetto classic ads, an interactive quiz about fun Wall’s facts and best-of-all, an ice-cream tasting session. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our ice-cream lovers.
Residents enjoy pottery session
Residents showed their artistic flair during a pottery session with Sue from Creative Mojo. There was a splash of colour everywhere as residents enjoyed painting their ‘frogs’ which can be used as small plant pot, pen holder to name a few – what would you use yours for? There’s nothing more liberating than a blank page to unleash someone’s creative side and everyone was delighted with their finished frogs!
World Cruise
Residents and colleagues at Edgbaston Beaumont enjoyed an afternoon on singing and dancing as they welcomed popular entertainer, Gerry Graham to the home to perform live.
Gerry is a popular entertainer with over 45-years’ experience and residents were treated to his ‘World Cruise’ performance – as Captain Gerry and the Good Ship Showtime took everyone on a good humoured trip around the world, with some visual effects to help the fun along. With songs like Sea Cruise, Beyond the Sea, Slow boat to China, That’s Amore, South of the Border, New York, New York, and even a visit to the Old Bazaar in Cairo, there is a lot on the menu!
Pony therapy
Residents of Edgbaston Beaumont were surprised to see two little visitors at the home as they welcomed miniature ponies for a therapy session.
Animal therapy encourages a calming environment and enables the residents to create new memories. The session proved very popular and the home are exploring new pets to visit!
