Homecall
Homecall has been providing a free service to people with varying degrees of sight loss since 1985.  Our aims are to enable independent living and alleviate isolation by recruiting volunteers to visit visually impaired people in their own homes. We operate this scheme in Dallington, its surrounding villages and across all of East Sussex, helping over 300 blind and partially sighted clients.

All of our volunteer visitors are trained and matched one to one with a client on a long term basis. Visitors help by reading letters, going for a walk together, helping with phone calls, (but not personal care, cooking or domestic work).

The list is endless as every client has different needs. Visitors are tactful, helpful and respecting of the confidential nature of their work.

Do you know a visually impaired person who would like to use our service, or do you have the time to visit a client for just an hour each week?

D.A.D.S.
Dallington Amateur Dramatic Society, known to members as D.A.D.S., the society has been running for many years, putting on at least one performance a year at the Old School in The Street.

Productions generally take place in the Autumn. As a small society, with a membership of around 30, they have gained a good reputation over the years, drawing a supportive audience. The stage was specially designed to be portable, but this has not stopped some clever & attractive sets from being conceived. Acting members are currently quite low, and they are hoping to attract new members . Performances from actors over the years have been well received by audiences. Most plays tend to be comedies with the occasional thriller or drama. The programme for this year has included several other events open to the public.

Mobile Library
The mobile library visits Dallington Village Hall every second Thursday between 10.40am – 11.00am.
