Support Young Carers Choir (without it costing you anything.)

by

We are VERY excited to have the Southern Co-op select our Eastleigh Young Carers CHOIR to support until November in 2019. PLEASE sign up and support us. Co-Op will give us 1% spent on co-op own brand goods and services which will help us run this fabulous group without charging you a penny.

How the fund works:

Every time members shop at the Co-op, 1% of what they spend on Co-op branded products and services helps fund community projects.

Members can shop at any Co-op Group stores across the UK to raise money for a cause.

Members can choose which causes to support by signing into their membership account or by calling the membership helpline on 0800 023 4708.

Showcase SUCCESS!

by

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.

For further information about support to local voluntary sector groups and volunteering opportunities please contact One Community on 023 8090 2458 or email volunteer@1community.org.uk
