Over 24 children and young people attended the Easter Holiday Club this year and what a fun they've had! As well as the usual swimming and bouncy castles the group also enjoyed trips out which included the Lerwick Fire Station, St Ninians Isle and Bigton Farm. Thanks to the team for making sure every child had fun and to Play Shetland, the Playvan, the guys at the fire station, the famous Budge sisters and of course Peter the bus driver! 😊
Such a brilliant 3 days. Thanks again Team Holiday Club for all your hard work!! 💙💙
Such lovely happy photos 😍
Thanks to helpers for all their hard work.
What a brilliant time you have had - wonder who enjoyed it most the club members or the helpers?😍
Some folk believe DICE is no longer operating as we currently have no funding - we are still here, funding it ourselves, still free of charge! If anyone needs help to access or manage self directed support please get in touch! Sue x
Thank you Sue, I have finally found you and spoken to Ged. More people need to know you're in existence as it's a minefield out there! I will spread the word where I can in D&G but I'm sure there are many out there struggling, as there is no appropriate and desperately necessary support guidance out there in this region outside of yourselves that I can find.
