How to Use the Calendar Builder
The Calendar Builder helps you plan and organise your activity schedule. Add events, pick a theme, and download a print-ready calendar for your notice board.
Open the Calendar
Click Calendar in the main menu. You'll see your monthly calendar with any events you've already added.
Add Events
Click the + button on any day to create a new event. Give it a name, set the time, and optionally link it to an activity from the library. You can also set up recurring events if something happens every week.
Switch Views
Use the view options to switch between Monthly and Weekly views. You can also hide weekends if your program only runs on weekdays.
Choose a Theme
Click Theme in the toolbar to browse calendar themes. Pick one that suits the season or your facility's style. You can also upload your own custom theme.
Customise What's Shown
Click Content in the toolbar to toggle what appears on your calendar:
- Your own text and activities
- Golden Carers suggested events
- Multicultural ideas and fun days
- Icons
Show or hide any of these to keep your calendar clean and relevant.
Adjust the Design
Click Design to change the font size, line height, and background colour. Handy if you need larger text for your notice board.
Download Your Calendar
Click Download and choose your format:
- Print-Ready PDF: looks exactly like what you see on screen
- Editable PDF: a simpler layout you can fill in by hand
- Word Document: fully editable in Microsoft Word
You can also choose paper size (A4, Letter) and orientation (portrait or landscape).
Happy planning! x
