    Seasonal Decorations Competition

    Winner Announced!

    We had some amazing entries for our Seasonal Decorations Competition and it was a hard job picking a winner. 


    However, after careful consideration, Asprey Court in Sutton Coldfield (part of the Restful Homes group) was selected as this year's winners.

    As winners, they were presented with a luxury Festive Hamper.
