Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

During our usual coffee morning, we decided to have a bit of a change and held a quiz. This went down quite well and residents really enjoyed taking part. We also enjoyed cakes and coffee, which were provided by our kitchen staff.

We were very lucky to receive a thank you card and letter from the Queen. In the letter, Her Majesty had put that she loved the cards that we made for her birthday and that she had enjoyed the occasion very much.

Pictured is Margaret, who became a centenarian in 2016, with the thank you letter and card.

We held our Summer Fair here at Stamford Bridge. We had a fabulous day with lots of stalls, refreshments and plenty of entertainment. Our lovely Chef, Dawn, provided cakes for us to sell and we also had our own tombola stall. We had lots of support from our local community and resident's families - and the weather was beautiful.

Thank you to everyone who helped and who made it a memorable day; we raised over £200 and it was a great success.

We had a fabulous visit from singer, Ruth Strangeway, recently. Ruth really entertains the residents and they love to sing along with her. A relative commented how lovely it was to see her mum sing the words to some very memorable songs (this lady doesn’t speak very much but she sang to nearly every song). It was such a beautiful thing to see a mother and daughter sharing such a special moment.

We were very lucky to get an invite to our local junior school to watch a performance of Peter Pan. Years 5 & 6 played all the parts and did a fantastic job; it was performed wonderfully by all of them and was really great to watch. Stamford Bridge would like to say a massive thank you to the juniors and teachers for inviting us to watch their brilliant show.

Congratulations to Gemma Sedman and Louise Storey, who have been named as a Divisional Winners in the Apprentice of the Year and Memory Lane Champion categories at this year's Barchester Care Awards.
