Community Christmas Tree Festival 2018

Last year One Community ran a very successful Community Christmas Tree Festival in the temporary exhibition gallery at Eastleigh Museum, where voluntary and community organisations created funny, poignant and beautiful Christmas trees representing their activities. (Lovely 2017 Basics Bank tree pictured .)

The festival attracted 1,597 visitors to the museum, so it is a great way of raising awareness of what you do.
This year the Community Christmas Tree Festival runs from 24 November 2018 to 5 January 2019. Setting up will be on the Thursday and Friday 22 and 23 November, whenever is convenient between 10am and 4pm.

Participation in the event is completely free.
If you’d like to participate with a Christmas tree for your community group, please contact One Community for a booking form on 023 8090 2458 or volunteer@1community.org.uk

Friday Night Club THEFT

by

LOCAL CHARITY DEVASTATED BY THEFT

Last night thieves broke into a container stealing all the outdoor equipment of Fareham’s Friday Night Club including three off-road buggies, helmets and archery equipment. The Friday Night Club provides activities for people with learning disabilities/ mental health issues.

The most popular activities are the off-roading and the archery and it is difficult to see how the charity will continue in the short-term. Our clients are upset as their outdoor activities are the highlight of their week.
