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.

On 5 November 2018 One Community received a Fareham Citizen of Honour Special Group Achievement Award from Fareham Borough Council. The first of its kind ever to be awarded. The Award was presented to the Chair of One Community, Professor Sri Kandiah, by the Mayor of Fareham Cllr Susan Bayford, at an afternoon tea in the Mayor’s Parlour.
Chief Executive of One Community said: “Our team goes above and beyond to help clients in the borough and to be recognised at such a high level by the Council for the work they do is indeed a great honour, we feel very proud to accept this on the team’s behalf.”
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
