Wonderland arrives in Eastleigh

by

At the Eastleigh museum there is a really good small exhibition space and this time we have a corker for you!

Four amazing artists have collaborated to put together a mixture of sculpture, sound art, multimedia paintings and glass work. All of the art is for sale.

We have had a good time just being in the space and feeling really inspired, relaxed and peaceful.

As ever, you can pop in to the café area and enjoy a lovely hot drink. We have some lovely retro chairs in there to get comfortable on and of course the shop with new local produce in.

Here is a short film clip of one persons’ experience of the exhibition.

FREE course for volunteer managers.

One Community is very excited to be working in partnership with Flourish and Solent Mind to offer free shop space in Eastleigh’s Swan Centre from the beginning of February.

The shop is available for bookings from Monday to Thursday.

This offer is open to any voluntary or community organisation, with priority given to members of One Community. Find out more about membership HERE.

You will have facilities to make tea/coffee, and chairs and tables will be available.

           

You will not able to sell any products directly to the public, but you could display a donation pot.

Happy New Year

by

We wish all our; customers, staff, volunteers and the communities of Eastleigh and Fareham we serve, a very happy new year!

Looking back over 2019, we have done so much! Looking back to Shop Mobility collecting their service award from the mayor of Eastleigh, fast forward to moving to our temporary premises at 75 Leigh Road.

We have all worked hard to improve the lot of people in Fareham and Eastleigh through our community project support, volunteering, Eastleigh museum’s and Fareham’s shop outreach and Young Carers groups. Our transport appeal for funding for a new bus is almost at the point of being able to get one on the road and the day activity services are a fun and welcoming place to be.

One Community is changing and in 2020 and we are looking forward to sharing a swan centre shop with local charity Fledge in the spring. We have several new training opportunities too.

Wishing all of you a very happy new year!

From all of us at One Community.

Day Activity Centre Christmas

by

The festive season is nearly with us and our Day Service teams have been planning plenty of opportunities for fun!

All of these pictures were taken at our central day activity centre.

There was plenty of music, singing and dancing and a wonderful treat when the children from local school, The Crescent came along to sing.

We have got some beautiful cards made too!

If you would like to do something different with your time, you could volunteer to help in the day service. If you would like more details or to chat through how we’d support, encourage and equip you to do it. Ring Julia on 02380902457

Email volunteer@1community.org.uk

If you know someone who has got some memory loss and would benefit from coming to do a range of activities, have a good hot meal and meet new friends, please get in touch.

We would love to hear from you?

GIVE THE GIFT OF TIME!

Pledge to volunteer in 2020 in someone else’s name for 50, 100 or 250 hours. Yes

  • 50 hours could equal one hour a week visiting a lonely person, or fundraising for a minibus.
  • 100 hours could equal driving for a local group, or providing IT or admin support.
  • 250 hours could equal volunteering in a museum, hospital or charity shop.

We can help you to find the right role for you and produce a personalised gift certificate and letter for you to give to the recipient of your gift. Perfect for Christmas, birthday or thank you gifts.

Auntie Doris might get lots of visitors, but she might be thrilled to know you are visiting older people who don’t see anyone, and that you are doing it as a gift to her.

Find out more about how to make a pledge by contacting us on 023 8090 2457 or emailing us volunteer@1community.org.uk

Upcycled Christmas Trees

by

Upcycled Christmas

Where else would you see a Christmas tree entirely made of spectacles or – socks – than Eastleigh Museum’s Upcycled Christmas Tree Festival! This is One Community’s third annual Community Christmas Tree Festival at the museum and this year the theme is upcycling, to focus on environmental concerns and the re-purposing of what might otherwise be discarded.

Local voluntary and community groups have let their imaginations run riot – and we can guarantee that you won’t have seen as many milk bottle tops used in an art installation – ever!

The trees are in turn quirky, clever and beautiful, and viewed together are stunning, and each gives a message about the work done by each of the organisations represented. 

Admission is free and the exhibition runs from 23 November to 4 January in Eastleigh Museum’s temporary exhibition gallery.
