Beaumont Celebrates International Ladies Day with the WI and Home Instead

Residents at the Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home in Stamford Bridge, continued their International Women’s Day celebrations by spending an afternoon celebrating the achievements of wonderful trail-blazing women throughout history.

Residents were delighted to welcome members of the Pocklington Women’s Institute and Tina Hilpert from Home Instead in Beverley and Hull. The visiting ladies joined the residents of the home for an afternoon of sparkling fizz and delicious cream cakes.

IWD takes place on March 8th every year to celebrate women’s rights and inspire people to fight for gender equality. A United Nations-sanctioned global holiday, IWD celebrates women’s contributions to society, raises awareness about the fight for gender parity and inspires support for organisations that support women globally.

Emma Smith, General Manager at Stamford Bridge Beaumont said: “We’ve all had a really interesting day thinking about the very many brilliant women who have had such an impact on our lives, whether that was an historic figure or people in our own family. It was good to share our experiences, take stock and reflect on how much society has changed over the years and we’re so grateful to the local Women’s Institute for making time to spend with our residents.”

Resident Anne commented: “It is amazing to think how much things have changed just in my lifetime, when I was younger there were so many things it was deemed inappropriate for women to do. It is wonderful that women have so many more opportunities these days and days like this are so important to make sure we keep going in the right direction.”
