At Kingston Court, our service users shape the daily life of our home, creating a relaxed family atmosphere filled with numerous activities. We actively engage with the community, participating in events like visiting the weeping window at the castle. Through intergenerational programs, our service users have become pen pals with children from the local youth zone, joining them for events like a fifties night. Themed days such as Burns Night, St. Patrick’s Day, St. David’s Day, and St. George’s Day feature entertainment and menus celebrate national celebrations – with something to suit everyone. Our activities range from flower arranging, music exercises, pantomimes, and bingo to gardening, knitting, cooking, and pampering sessions – all based on the preferences of our service users.
