Well? Have you?
Most people do have them and because it is EASY for many people, we have set up a mobile phone text donation system.
Never donated from your phone before and a bit unsure? Or are you always pinging across funds here there and everywhere?
You can donate to One Community via your mobile phone, by text VERY EASILY! Hurray!
Text giving is one of the easiest and most convenient ways for you supporters to give to our charity – It is perfect for those who are on the move or short of time and is very popular. Just send the word 1COM, followed by the amount you want to give to 70085.
(If you fancy a practice- just text 1COM1 to 70085 and it just costs a single pound and you can see how it all works- honestly, it is very simple.)
You can choose to donate the following amounts; £1,2,3,4,5,10,15 and £20. You do not need to put a pound sign.
Please see below;
1COM1 to 70085
1COM2 to 70085
1COM3 to 70085
1COM4 to 70085
1COM5 to 70085
1COM10 to 70085
1COM15 to 70085
1COM20 to 70085
If your donation was successful you may be asked via a text message if you would like to gift aid. We would be grateful if you could say yes (if you are a UK Tax payer, which includes people on ESA, some other benefits, as well as those with pensions and employment.) It should then take you to a page and ask you a couple of questions and then another page where you enter your name and address. It is a very easy process.

Today is International Women’s Day and marks one year since the launch of This Girl Can Eastleigh. Eastleigh Borough Council launched the campaign to encourage more women locally to lead a healthy active lifestyle. Local women from Eastleigh have become campaign champions and have shared their journeys about becoming more active. Over 300 women have engaged with the campaign through a programme of beginners courses and taster sessions. We’re proud to show our support for the campaign. Find out more at www.eastleigh.gov.uk/thisgirlcan

The Chandlers Ford Waitrose have selected One Community as one of the charities you can vote for. It means we have a chance to get some funding through the scheme. Money raised is going to our Day Activity Services.
When you go to Waitrose, please pop a token in for One Community after your shopping. Here are some keen beans in a short clip (just over two minutes) showing you how it is done.
Every couple of months we have a meeting of local organisations. This is to get you to meet one another, share insights and learn something new.
Here is a poster with all the details for the next session on the 30th of April 2019 from 12.30-2 at the Point in Eastleigh.
We are VERY excited to have the Southern Co-op select our Eastleigh Young Carers CHOIR to support until November in 2019. PLEASE sign up and support us. Co-Op will give us 1% spent on co-op own brand goods and services which will help us run this fabulous group without charging you a penny.

Second Showcase Success.
Eastleigh’s Second Community Showcase, at The Point, Eastleigh on Saturday the 2nd of February was a great success, despite freezing conditions.
45 local charities exhibited at the event, showcasing their activities and services and recruiting volunteers. Live performances were staged in the main auditorium by Ukes for All and the Eastleigh Fusion Choir.
The Showcase is a partnership event between One Community and The Point. As well as meeting the public, who arrived in their hundreds, exhibitors were busy networking and making new contacts.
Exhibitors ranged from Solent Movie Makers to Prostate Cancer Support, the Scouts to the Samaritans, The Red Box Project to Highbridge Community Farm.
Visitors included Eastleigh’s Mayor, Cllr Bruce Tennant and Eastleigh’s MP Mims Davies, both of whom were impressed by the turn out, and enjoyed the opportunity to chat to so many charities under one roof.
For further information about support to local voluntary sector groups and volunteering opportunities please contact One Community on 023 8090 2458 or email volunteer@1community.org.uk
