    HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Eye 2 Eye - formerly known as
Deeside Club for the Blind.
The club was originally set up and run by Flintshire Social Services in the mid 1960’s. The meetings were held on Tuesday
afternoons in the council offices above Buckley baths.
In the early 1970’s the club moved to
Connah’s  Quay.  One of the reasons for the move being that there were more members from that area, Shotton, Mancot, Saltney etc and it was easier for members to travel to Connah’s Quay than to Buckley.
The membership steadily grew and in 1976 the club moved to the newly built Melrose Family Centre.
After some years at the centre, Social
Services gradually left the running of the club to volunteers, just visiting for short time or to bring along a new member. The membership had grown to over 50 by 1990.
Social Services gave up the club completely in 1998 leaving it in the capable hands of the volunteers.

Following the decision to turn The Melrose
Family Centre into a day care centre in 2002 
The Deeside Club for the Blind found a new 
home at St Andrews Church Hall in Garden
City. Since the move it has changed its name to Eye 2 Eye and is now a charity in it own
right.

HERE AND NOW

Eye 2 Eye is a social club for the visually
impaired we meet weekly with members
from many parts of Flintshire attending. We 
are completely self funding and the club is
run entirely by volunteers none of whom
claim any expenses so all money raised goes directly for the benefit of the members.
We arrange for subsidised transport for
members door to door to and from the club.
