2025 Chinese New Year Posters - Year of the Snake
These posters are beautiful. Next year can they please say Lunar New Year, rather than Chinese New Year? It's more inclusive of the cultures that celebrate the festival.

Your quizzes are so good, but when I display them on a tv screen (attached to my iPad), you can see the answers. Can you somehow place them underneath so the participants have a chance to guess?

I love Golden Carers it is a fabulous resource. It has made my life so much easier, so that in turn does wonders for my clients. The work that you put in to helping us all is wonderful please don’t give up.
Is it worth the money? You betcha it is. My clients love the quizzes and we have many laughs and it opens up many a thoughtful discussion on life as an older person. I thank you so much when l am stuck for ideas l just jump onto GOLDEN CARERS. Have a great day and keep up the great work.
