Residents, families and colleagues at Craigbank Care Home in Possilpark came together for a colourful celebration of culture, community and togetherness during a special World Cup-themed cultural event.
The home was transformed into a vibrant showcase of international traditions, with flags from around the world decorating the home and music from different countries creating a lively atmosphere.
