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.

Landmark 70th wedding anniversary
Bob and Jean met at ballroom dancing classes 71 years ago and started their married life in Basingstoke, Hampshire, marrying 70 years ago on the 25th July.
Bob started work at the Weights and Measures in the Civil Service but quickly moved to the Trustee Savings Bank where with bank colleagues Bob and Jean started Scottish Country dancing. After five years Bob realised that in order to progress in the Bank he was going to have to move to London and for the next twenty years they lived in South London where he alternated between being a Manager and being an Inspector with the bank.
Dogs Trust
Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Jennifer and Emily from Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity. Jennifer and Emily took us on a journey to discover the rich history of Dogs Trust and their facilities.
Using captivating video and photo footage, our residents were able to explore rehoming centres and learn more about the highest level of welfare offered there. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our dog lovers.
Fruits from around the world
Residents at Edgbaston Beaumont enjoyed an afternoon tasting exotic fruits and seeing how many they could name. Head Chef, Pauline hosted this sensory experience in the homes café.
Residents were presented with a platter of delicious colourful fruits to taste and name – the residents did very well in guessing most of them before testing their knowledge with a themed quiz – Exotic fruits from around the world.
A special visitor
Our residents love animals and we were delighted to welcome a very special visitor to the home – Tinkerbelle! Courtesy of Lollipop Pony Parties, Tinkerbelle travelled to the home to meet our residents, she was gentle and affectionate and our residents loved the interaction and there were smiles all around.
