The weather has been lovely of late so residents within the Beeches Nursing Home have been joining in with as many outside activities as possible. We recently purchased a new Parachute for use within leisure based activities and thought it be a great idea to try it out in the sunshine.

We decided to purchase the Superchute Parachute as it has foam sewn inside the rim which allows the residents to get a better and more comfortable grip and so greater participation and more productive activity time.

As you can see from our photographs residents really enjoyed using this piece of equipment and it not only is a great fun activity but also promotes upper body strength as-well as colour matching/association so it looks like the Superchute will be out a lot more often.
