Happy New Year
We wish all our; customers, staff, volunteers and the communities of Eastleigh and Fareham we serve, a very happy new year!
Looking back over 2019, we have done so much! Looking back to Shop Mobility collecting their service award from the mayor of Eastleigh, fast forward to moving to our temporary premises at 75 Leigh Road.
We have all worked hard to improve the lot of people in Fareham and Eastleigh through our community project support, volunteering, Eastleigh museum’s and Fareham’s shop outreach and Young Carers groups. Our transport appeal for funding for a new bus is almost at the point of being able to get one on the road and the day activity services are a fun and welcoming place to be.
One Community is changing and in 2020 and we are looking forward to sharing a swan centre shop with local charity Fledge in the spring. We have several new training opportunities too.
Wishing all of you a very happy new year!
From all of us at One Community.
Day Activity Centre Christmas
The festive season is nearly with us and our Day Service teams have been planning plenty of opportunities for fun!
All of these pictures were taken at our central day activity centre.
There was plenty of music, singing and dancing and a wonderful treat when the children from local school, The Crescent came along to sing.
We have got some beautiful cards made too!
If you would like to do something different with your time, you could volunteer to help in the day service. If you would like more details or to chat through how we’d support, encourage and equip you to do it. Ring Julia on 02380902457
Email volunteer@1community.org.uk
If you know someone who has got some memory loss and would benefit from coming to do a range of activities, have a good hot meal and meet new friends, please get in touch.

GIVE THE GIFT OF TIME!
Pledge to volunteer in 2020 in someone else’s name for 50, 100 or 250 hours. Yes
- 50 hours could equal one hour a week visiting a lonely person, or fundraising for a minibus.

Upcycled Christmas Trees
Upcycled Christmas
Where else would you see a Christmas tree entirely made of spectacles or – socks – than Eastleigh Museum’s Upcycled Christmas Tree Festival! This is One Community’s third annual Community Christmas Tree Festival at the museum and this year the theme is upcycling, to focus on environmental concerns and the re-purposing of what might otherwise be discarded.
Local voluntary and community groups have let their imaginations run riot – and we can guarantee that you won’t have seen as many milk bottle tops used in an art installation – ever!
The trees are in turn quirky, clever and beautiful, and viewed together are stunning, and each gives a message about the work done by each of the organisations represented.
Admission is free and the exhibition runs from 23 November to 4 January in Eastleigh Museum’s temporary exhibition gallery.

LifeLine helped.
Last week our LifeLine department got a call from the son of one of our clients. He thanked us warmly for the service that we had provided for his Mum who was in her 90’s.
On the day she passed away she had activated her pendant after becoming ill and falling, the ambulance service arrived and were able to gain entry via the key safe. Her son arrived and was able to talk to her and follow the ambulance to the hospital.
She knew he was there and he is so grateful that she had the LifeLine service as otherwise she may not have been found until the next day. Sadly, she passed away not long after arriving at the hospital.
We were all sad to hear this news, but pleased she had a Lifeline that summonsed help for her.
We all send our condolences to the family at this time of loss.
