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.
If you would like to be a part of our team of volunteers at Eastleigh Museum or doing a range of different volunteering things, click HERE.
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:
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.
For those who were unable to go to our AGM, you might have missed our Impact Report.
The Army came and worked with us and made this short film showing the things we have done in One Community this year.
There is a permanent copy of this on the AGMpage.
The new Velmore Repair Café opened its doors for the first time on Saturday 26 October, 11am-1pm, at the Velmore Community Centre.
It was a brilliant couple of hours and some very happy people went away with repaired items in exchange for a donation.
Repairs are undertaken by volunteers while the owners of the items watch and learn.
The Velmore Community Café is a member of the Repair Café Foundation – an international movement. It saves money on repairs, saves having to buy a new item and stops the waste that results from throwing stuff away.
Above all, it’s good fun, where people meet up and have a chat over a cuppa.
