About the Drop-in Centre Eastleigh (D.I.C.E)

D.I.C.E. was set up in 2007 by Adam and continues to be run by the people who use it, with some support from MENCAP and The Art House. This makes it a truly empowering experience for those involved and good example of a democratic, user-run service.

Today's session and plans for Easter Egg hunt


Well, it was a lovely sunny day so there were only a few of us today (I think the others may have headed off to the park. We took along some juggling kit, games (including skittles and kerplunk), music, hula hoop and poi.

Carol absolutely rocks at skittles and Kerplunk! We should maybe start a team!

We also agreed a programme for the next few sessions, including another carnival day (when hopefully there will be more people!), Easter Egg painting, drama and another music session. We're also going to do a short one-hour percussion session next week before the meeting :)

The new 'Disco Greats' CD went down well with club users, not so well with Stuart who I think thought it was a bit lame!

After the session, Bik and I headed down to Eastleigh Lakeside Park to check it out as a possible venue, if we run out of money for room hire (the hall at Wells Place Centre costs £40 per session to hire) - or for occasional sessions at least when the weather is fine.

The lakes are lovely and can be reached by bus, I hope the group will be up for this - there is an indoor room available to hire, with hot water & cups so we can make coffees.

The plan at the moment (subject to approval by the group next week!) is to hold an Easter Egg hunt & picnic there at the end of March, so that everyone can see what they think of using the space down there for some sessions in the summer.


We also are looking into the possibility of joining the monthly 'table top sale' at Wells Place Centre to raise some funds.
