Diamond House was founded in 1996 by Ishbel Diamond and a group of people wanting to support people with mental health issues and provide safe place where they could meet and develop new skills which would help improve their quality of life.
Since opening in 1996, over 740 people have become members of Diamond House, which is voluntary and membership is free. There are currently approximately 260 active members.
Charles Sturt Lions, staff and Members celebrate the opening of the new security fence which was a joint fundraising adventure between Diamond House and Charles Sturt Lions.
Diamond House is the only Clubhouse in South Australia and is modelled after Fountain House in New York, which opened in 1947. Over 300 Clubhouses worldwide have emerged and adopted the Clubhouse Standards set by the International Centre for Clubhouse Development, (I.C.C.D) now known as Clubhouse International.
Gardening is a popular work task in Work-Ordered Day. At Clubhouse we have a small vegetable garden that members enjoy maintaining and where fresh produce is used in our kitchen.
We are currently raising funds to upgrade our vehicle which is used to transport Members to our services and to a range of appointments to support their health and wellbeing.
On behalf of the Clubhouse Community, we thank you in advance for your support in the Community Lottery!
