Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

When Yorkshire marathon took place we couldn't resist getting wrapped up in our winter coats and popping down to watch. The route started in York and made its way to Stamford Bridge, staff and residents headed down to the sidelines so they could cheer the runners on as they passed by.

Margaret and Alice two talented knitters who live at our home have come to the aid of York Hospital who put out a post asking for knitters in the area to knit hearts to help families stay connected to their love ones in the intensive care unit. 

Margaret and Alice sprang into action and helped meet the call by creating quite a few pairs of hearts – one will be placed in the patients hand and the other will go home with their families and friends to give them comfort and serve as a tangible connection from hospital to home.

Residents, loved ones, friends and staff members at our home celebrated the Harvest Festival by donating a food hamper to a local charity.

The occasion was also marked with singing of hymns followed by light refreshments which really helped everyone at the home get into the spirit of the festival. Food donations brought in by families and staff were gifted to the ‘I am reusable’ charity which will support them in feeding 120 people a day 7 days a week

Having a coffee morning is the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause. The money raised helps everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can.
