We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported our Care Home Open Week celebrations at Beachcroft House.
One of the highlights of the week was our bake sale, where members of the local community stopped by to enjoy homemade cakes while spending time with us. It was lovely to see so many people popping in to say hello and supporting the home.
We also held a diamond art exhibition and sale, showcasing beautiful pieces created by our residents alongside our Activities Coordinators, Rose and Sandra. Over several weeks, residents including Teodora, Sally and Margurete learnt how to bedazzle their art together, and it was wonderful to see visitors admiring and purchasing their creations.
Here are just a few of our favourite photos captured from the week:

The focus for the week was to further support meaningful experiences for our residents, whether that’s enjoying coffee and cake at a local café, spending time in nearby parks, visiting attractions such as London Zoo or the Royal Air Force Museum, or even planning another trip to the seaside.
Our Home Manager, Tohibat Kesington (Florence), said:
“The support we received throughout the week was incredible. It was wonderful to see our residents’ families, healthcare professionals, neighbours and members of the local community come together to support Beachcroft House.
Most importantly, our residents had a fantastic time. The week encouraged creativity, conversation and new friendships, and we’re excited that the money raised will help us create even more special experiences together.”
Following such a positive response, we’re already planning more community events. Our diamond art sessions have become so popular that they’re here to stay, and we’ll also be introducing regular cake sales throughout the year.
We’re also exploring the idea of launching a Beachcroft Dementia Café, creating another welcoming space where people living with dementia, their families and carers can come together for support, friendship and conversation. More details will be coming in the foreseeable future.
Thank you once again to everyone who visited, donated or helped make the week so special. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Beachcroft House soon.
