Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

We had a lovely time joining Becca Clark and James Wylie – members of V&A Dundee’s exhibitions team – as they took us on a virtual tour of the museum’s incredible Scottish Design Galleries.

We were introduced to the wide range of unique objects at the galleries from architecture and engineering, jewellery and textiles to theatre and their fascinating stories.

And we were able to learn more about the importance of all objects in telling the rich and varied history of Scottish design.

It was a lovely talk, enjoyed by all.

We took a wonderful virtual trip to Iceland and visited the SEA LIFE Trust Beluga Whale Sanctuary to have an inside look into the daily care of their two resident beluga whales: Little White and Little Grey.

Our residents were introduced to the history of the Beluga Whale Sanctuary and learnt more about its mission to provide a more natural home for belugas in human care with a first-hand look at how the dedicated team are not only caring for the whales, but preparing for their future in the sea sanctuary!

It was an enjoyable event for everyone, learning more about the amazing beluga whales and how they are cared for at the sanctuary.

Here at Stamford Bridge Beaumont we were delighted to spend some time taking beautiful photos of each other as we captured everyone’s smiles to enter the #BaileyBarchester competition following Damian’s amazing virtual photography event. 

We all had a wonderful time during our photoshoot and we are happy to say we were impressed with our skills in putting all the tips and ideas learnt during the talk into practice.

To celebrate World Photography Day, we were delighted to hear from Professional Photographer, Damian Bailey who spent some time guiding us through different photography tips and techniques.

We all had a wonderful afternoon and are excited to be taking part in the #BaileyBarchester competition where we look forward to putting all the tips and ideas learnt during the talk into practice. 

Thank you, Damian Bailey Photography.

Now that restrictions have continued to ease, Residents have been delighted to take a trip out on the homes mini-bus to visit their favourite shops for a little bit of a shopping spree and enjoy a wander around the aisles before making a refreshment pit stop to enjoy lunch in the homes local shopping centre. Residents have enjoyed being able to pick up their own toiletries and make-up again!

We celebrated International Youth Day virtually with English National Ballet’s youth dance company, ENBYouthCo and their Creative Director, Richard Bermange.

We had the opportunity to watch A Comedy in Long-shot, participate in a chair-based creative dance workshop and observe an open rehearsal where Richard and the young dancers created a performance inspired by our childhood memories.

It was a wonderful experience, enjoyed by all.
