Home Education Ice Skating at the Bournemouth International Centre (1)
Help us kick of 2025 with a bit of winter magic! If you are a home educating family then this activity is for you! We are planning to hire the Cool Coast Ice Rink at the BIC for our first major fundraising event. Glide, slide and twirl your way across the rink whilst getting some tips from Nicky Adolphe, founder of the hotline and ex-figure skater! Find out about our work and how we support families facing education barriers, how advocacy can really help and what you can do to improve outcomes when facing challenges in health and social care situations.

CONFIRMED BOOKING is Wednesday 12th February, 10.30-12noon, and/or 12.30pm-2pm.
This is NOT a public session. A deposit must be paid in advance and there MUST be a connection to home education or The Autonomy Hotline (e.g. client/advocate/supporter) before booking.
In order to ensure there is enough interest to be viable, we are asking families to offer a deposit –
EITHER…
£5 for a single skater, OR…
£10 for three or more.
Please pay via our Stripe payment platform and put in either £5 or £10. Donate – The Autonomy Hotline
Unfortunately this is non-refundable. ONLY pay for one option above.
Should there be any cancellations or changes, it is unlikely we will be able to offer refunds. In the event the skating does not go ahead, we will endeavour to host another activity for home educating families. All funds go towards the work of the hotline.
We get a notification of a ‘pending’ booking upon registering. Following payment of the deposit, this will be ‘confirmed’ and you will get an email for this (Please be patient with the confirmation email – we are a very small team following up each request personally!). We will contact you to confirm how many places you would like to have and any information relevant to the session.
Once we have a rough idea of numbers we will ask for a donation upon arrival (card or cash is fine) of something between £2.50-£4.00 for any additional skaters after the deposit is taken into consideration. All funds after the rink has been paid will be going towards working with families and supporting people going through court cases. Please print email confirmation or show the confirmation message upon arrival.
We are aiming to keep the costs as low as possible. The rink has offered us a fantastic deal which will be well worth the visit!
(usually tickets are £13.50 for an individual skater.)
Please bring gloves, water bottles, spare socks. Avoid denim/jeans; leggings and tracksuits are better. No scarves or loose clothing. Skates provided, but if you have your own do bring them. No phones on the ice without permission.
For any queries please contact Nicky or Sarah at The Autonomy Hotline – 0333 772 1227.
Bookings CLOSE on the Monday 10th Feb 11pm. We reserve the right to turn away anyone who has NOT paid a deposit after this time.
