Residents from Jewel Care Home in Edinburgh enjoyed a trip to the beach to test out a new mode of transport.
A group from the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership run care home spent the day at Portobello Beach and tested out beach wheelchairs on the sand. The specially adapted chairs are available to hire for free from Beach Wheelchairs and allow those with mobility issues to enjoy the seaside.
The group also tucked into ice creams and chips while soaking up the atmosphere of the bustling beach.
Activity leader Manel said: “The residents had a lovely day at the beach and we lucked out with the weather being warm and sunny.
“The beach was busy with it being so sunny and the residents enjoyed seeing children playing and people enjoying the good weather.
“We hired Beach Wheelchairs for free, with manual and powered wheelchairs available. The volunteers were very helpful and it meant everyone could enjoy the beach.”
