Knowing how much residents enjoy music, dancing and socialising, the team at Stamford Bridge Beaumont organised the dementia-friendly disco in partnership with MG-DJ Disco and Karaoke to bring people together for an afternoon filled with fun, friendship and reminiscence.

Snowdrop Place Annual Summer fete

A wonderful sunny day for our Summer Fete this year, with a welcome to the local community, friends and families of Snowdrop Place. 

We enjoyed a variety of stalls, a performance from the fabulous SO sound choir and plenty of fun with raffle, tombola, games and the ice cream van. A huge thank you to our volunteers and all who supported the event. 

Lovely Lee on Solent!

A Wonderful Day at Lee-on-the-Solent! 
Our residents enjoyed a lovely trip to Lee-on-the-Solent, making the most of the beautiful seaside weather.
We tucked into a delicious picnic lunch while taking in the sea views, and of course, no trip to the coast would be complete without the obligatory ice cream!

Resident Ann, had a lovely morning celebrating a special birthday with residents, loved ones and staff.

Trip to the Coorie Cafe

Residents enjoyed a lovely trip to the picturesque village of Limekilns, where they stopped at The Coorie Café for coffee, cake, and plenty of conversation. 

The visit was made even more special for one resident, who grew up in Limekilns and enjoyed reminiscing about familiar places while sharing fond memories of the village. 

It was a wonderful afternoon filled with laughter, nostalgia, delicious treats, and the chance to revisit a place that holds many happy memories for many of our residents.
