Last year we tried a new idea of a "Give a gift tree", where we have a christmas tree with tags on that our residents have wished for on christmas day! Each tag is coded to a resident and has a few ideas on (to meet people's budgets if they'd like to take part and only need to buy what they want too). Gifts to be returned to Kings Court unwrapped so we can ensure dietry needs are met.
Our Give a gift tree will be in our reception by the end of the month, if you'd like join in we would be very grateful. Thank you Team Kings Court

Our Turn Barney Pink display is up, after discussions with our residents who picked and made the design.
First we were doing a giant cupcake, then a hot air balloon, then decided on balloons for John to request the Pink panther. So what our residents want we try to get!
We all think it looks amazing and well done team Kings Court
