New Transport News- Due to Covid-19

by

Bus Pass Hours of Operation Extended to All Days and All Times.

As part of its response to the public health emergency posed by COVID-19 #Coronavirus, Hampshire County Council has extended the hours of operation of the Hampshire ENCTS bus pass scheme from its current 09:30 to 24:00 on weekdays and at all times at weekends and on public holidays, to all days and all times.

This will only apply to those community transport services on which people can currently use their bus passes.

This will apply to One Community’s Dial-A-Ride, #Dial-A-Ride Shopping services and #ParishLink, but not the Hedge End Park service.

This is a temporary measure for the duration of the public health #emergency only.

Valentines at Day Activity Services

by

We wanted to share what we have been doing in the day activity centres.

This week we followed a valentines theme and everyone who wanted to made delicious cakes. Everyone liked the icing and chocolate tops!

*Joan (not her real name) said this about our day activity service

I have memory loss and it’s a treasure to meet others & make friends with others that really understand. I get a good lunch and picked from my own front door.

Please ring us on 023 8090 2400 or email info@1community.org.uk to arrange a few day trial (with a small cost for transport and lunch.)

If you would like to volunteer with us to help in our day activity centres, please follow this link.

Volunteer Drivers for Young Carers

Our young carers are a fabulous group of kids. Through our young carers project they meet other children living with someone who has difficulties.

We have a busy set of activities like a weekly choir, youth groups and holiday activities.

It would be really wonderful to have you come and drive our young carers to and from their activities. We pay a good mileage rate, all you need is a car and business rate insurances. We will take care of all of your checks so you are good to go!
