HC-One Scotland’s Merino Court Care Home in Greenock, Inverclyde, was delighted to host a vibrant Summer Fête recently, bringing together residents, families, and members of the community for an afternoon filled with sunshine, smiles, and celebration.
Residents enjoyed a glorious sunny afternoon as the care home garden transformed into a bustling hub of activity and laughter. The event featured live music from local entertainer Billy Johnstone, creating a lively atmosphere that had everyone tapping their feet and singing along.
Children were thrilled with the fun-filled slip and slide, while guests of all ages enjoyed classic fête favourites such as the tombola, raffle, spin-the-wheel, and a much-loved cake and candy stall.

Throughout the afternoon, refreshments and snacks were served, allowing everyone to relax, mingle, and enjoy the community spirit that Merino Court is proud to foster.
