A new source of fun and stimulation is benefitting clients of mental health charity Heads Up.

It is all thanks to the Somerset Mark Master Masons' donation of £8,463 to provide a three-year hire of a Magic 360 interactive video table with vibrant colours, plus a portable projector screen to use with it and other accessories.

People with varying abilities benefit greatly from this large touchscreen technology, by being able to interact much more easily than with iPads, Android tablets or smartphones. The large screen app experience is vastly different and can help improve well-being, sense of happiness and achievement.

The Magic 360 is also easily moved to allow anyone to play with the table with anyone anywhere.

"Somerset Mark Masons are delighted to be able to supply the remarkable Heads Up charity with the Magic 360 table which will support their wonderful and important work in the community," said Philip Voisey, Somerset Provincial Grand Master for the Mark Master Masons, the third largest branch of Freemasonry.

Michelle Payne, Operations Manager at Heads Up at South Horrington, said: "This interactive projector will provide a range of people which Heads Up support on a regular basis, with interactive and engaging music, crafts, activities and games, which clients will be able to enjoy individually or on a group basis. 

"Benefits such as improvement in social interaction, cognitive wellbeing and physical and mental wellbeing, as well as supporting reduction in anxiety and distress will enhance our support services and we are so grateful to the Mark Master Masons for understanding the importance of such equipment and providing the much-needed funds required for this project to be implemented."
