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.

Life at Southgate Beaumont Care Community

Planting herbs in our Kitchen Garden

Southgate Beaumont has the most beautiful gardens and we love spending time in them. We wanted to share them with our local community and so invited our friends and neighbour's to join us for a picnic and to help us plant some new raised beds. Residents love to potter around in the garden so we have decided to grow all our own herbs and we can wait to see how the chef will use them in the kitchen. 

A glorious day picnicking in the sunshine.

It's national picnic week !! National picnic week urges us to grab a picnic and get outdoors and that's exactly what we did.
