Hate Crime Report 2019 LGBQT+

by

At One Community we are committed to improving the opportunities and lives of all of the community. Part of this role is to research, present and make recommendations for improvements to current practice and take these ideas to move forwards in a positive direction.

We have just completed an important piece of research into Hate Crime against LGBQT+ people in the Eastleigh area. This is to examine the current levels of hate crime reported in the borough and consider ways this could be improved.

The report concludes with several recommendations for organisations working in the community.

We would like to thank all those who contributed to this research.

Santa visits Eastleigh Museum

by

On Saturday the 16th of November, our very own Santa came to Eastleigh Museum.

Here is the wonderful team who really made the day fabulous and the grotto inviting.

We had lots of families, with young and not so young come in to see us. It was a really lovely time of lights, fun and community.

Hampshire Volunteer survey

by

We are sharing this with you as we know lots of you are volunteers or are involved with organisations who are involved with volunteers.

Hampshire County Council in partnership with Hampshire CVS Network and the University of Winchester wants to find out more about Hampshire residents’ attitudes to volunteering and informal help-giving, particularly in relation to supporting older people. As part of this outreach we would like you to assist us in publicising a survey open to the general public.

 

Please publicise our survey:

 

The public survey here asks for feedback on:

 

  • Whether there are particular types of volunteering opportunities that attract people more than others 
  • More generally, what might attract people to volunteering
  • The barriers that would prevent someone from becoming a volunteer
  • The support might people need to help them to step forward
  • Whether people would want to access support from volunteers, and if so, how would they wish to do this?

 

The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete, and is open now for adults of all ages to respond.  The survey closes on 30 November 2019.

 

Please take our organisation survey if you work with volunteers:

 

The County Council and partners are also keen to get the views of community organisations, on how they currently deploy volunteers, and what future demand for volunteers might look like. To take the organisation survey click here.

 

We appreciate your support and look forward to the findings and strengthening our connections across Hampshire.

Purple Tuesday is coming!

by

On Tuesday the 12th of November it is Purple Tuesday. Purple Tuesday is an organisation which tries to make shops, services and businesses more accessible and inclusive of disabled customers.

Across the UK, the Purple Pound – the consumer spending power of disabled people and their families – is worth £249 billion and is rising by an average of 14% each year.

Worldwide, the Purple Pound equates to a staggering £2.25 trillion, yet less than 10% of businesses have a targeted plan to access this disability market. As a result, many disabled people cannot access services and businesses.

Purple Tuesday is about improvements to businesses and services to value and meet the needs of disabled customers. It is about making the customer experience accessible.

In the Eastleigh Swan Shopping Centre we will have a stall on Tuesday the 12th from 11-3. We will have leaflets and information about One Community, including Hate Crime reporting.

Please come along and chat with us, we would like to see you and hear how you would like access to services and businesses improved.

Moving our transport department.

by

You will all know that One Community moved out of our Romsey Road address at the end of September 2019. It was a MASSIVE undertaking and took a great deal of planning and practical hands on to achieve. With many hands to the pump, transport department were able to get through their sorting, packing and moving.

We have moved into our offices into 75 Leigh road, and are all set up, taking your calls and bookings.

As with the whole team, we know we are only here for a year or so while the Romsey Road buildings are demolished and a really nice, modern practical office space is built for us to move back into.

At the moment, the building we are in has not got any disabled access. So, if you need to see us, face to face, please just ring or email us and we can arrange to meet you at The Point in Eastleigh (almost straight opposite from number 75 Leigh Road.)

Daily Echo drop in Monday’s

by

THE EASTLEIGH community reporter will be hosting weekly drop-in sessions, where you can come along and share your stories or events.

Daniel Vassie, who joined the Daily Echo last month, will be present in the information room of Eastleigh Museum every Monday from 12 until 1pm.

This is a chance for members of the Eastleigh community to visit the local reporter to make sure they are represented in the News.

This scheme has already been successful in Romsey, and we are hoping the same can be done for Eastleigh and the surrounding areas.

The museum is located at 25 High Street, Eastleigh and the weekly surgery starts on Monday November 4.
