Charity plea to shoppers
Residents at a Perthshire care home were treated to a spectacular outdoor performance from a local circus troupe.
Performing a 1960s-themed show called ‘Bring Me Sunshine’, Perth-based Adventure Circus dazzled residents and staff at Balhousie Pitlochry care home.
The circus and fitness club performed an array of acrobatics, dance, aerial skills and juggling in the home’s gardens.
When they finished the residents sang them a song to say ‘thank you’.
Home manager Sandra Hutton thanked the circus, saying: “Their performance was very energetic and visual.
“Our residents and staff are still talking about it days later.”
Sheilah Harvey from Balhousie Care Group said: “Due to the ongoing coronavirus situation, our residents have not been able to embark on any field trips, something they enjoyed regularly before lockdown happened.
“Garden visits from groups like Adventure Circus offer a safe, socially distanced alternative which has a hugely positive impact on our residents.”
Adventure Circus is currently performing at care homes in the area. For more information visit www.adventurecircus.org.
