Activities at Southgate Beaumont Care Community
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.
Zoe Grindley
Hello My name is Zoe, I have been in the life enrichment team at Southgate Beaumont since December 2021.
I am originally from Liverpool and moved to London in 1997 after being accepted at Mountview Theatre school. After graduating I worked as an actress and accomplished voiceover artist for many years. I also have a vast amount customer service experience, working in many West End Theatres, as Cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic and at Claridges hotel in Mayfair.

My role here at Southgate Beaumont is to ensure our residents lives are packed full of enriching and interesting activity. We provide a wide range of both home led and community led activity for all residents as well as personalised and individual hobby and interest focused events. Our programme ranges from cocktail making, to art history talks, exercise sessions as well as fine dining dinner parties catered for by our chefs
I have made lots of lovely new friends at Southgate Beaumont care home and look forward to making many more.

National Chocolate Cake Day !
The 27th January is the perfect day to have your cake and eat it. As It is National Chocolate Cake Day!
No one is sure who created the day, but to be honest Southgate Beaumont doesn't mind, as any excuse to eat chocolate cake is a good one. This beautiful cake was made by our fabulous Head Chef Daniel and his team as was just as delicious as it look !
Burns Night Celebrations !
Burns night was a great success at Southgate Beaumont. Residents were treated to a mouthwatering dish of traditional Hagis, meat and tatties before washing it all down with a traditional glass of whisky!!
After lunch everyone took part in reading the famous poems of Robert Burns and then they tested their knowledge with a quiz about haggis!!
It was wonderful to learn of different family connections to Scotland.
Here is a picture of Jean who is holding her Fathers tartan. Its from the Gordon Highlanders regiment which he wore in the war.
Squirrel appreciation day !
Today is Squirrel appreciation day and the residents here at Southgate Beaumont had a lovely time looking at the beautiful artwork of squirrels sent in by St Andrews school in Southgate.
There were so many amazing pictures that in the end we couldn’t decide on a winner. Instead we will be sending treats to all who contributed.
Thank you we adore them !
Getting creative !
Spring is in the air and we are so happy to see the first blossom appear on the trees. Residents have been busy getting creative making beautiful greetings cards. What a talented bunch we are.
