On Wednesday 6 May we were asked to be part of an Eastleigh Borough Council initiative – a collective effort among the Eastleigh Coronavirus Support Support hub in Eastleigh – to get party fare to care homes across the borough to celebrate the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
Our community transport team scheduled deliveries for Thursday afternoon on our minibuses and half a dozen of our CV Response volunteers went out to shop for every bodies party favourites.
Pictured are David and Sally Lloyds out doing volunteer shopping.
We were delighted to do this as part of our CV Response work. If you are need of shopping, prescriptions or someone to phone and have a chat, let us know on 023 8090 2400 or info@1community.org.uk
VE Day Home Schooling and Stay at Home Street Party Pack Launched.
Home schooling resources and a “Stay At Home Street Party” pack have been launched by Fareham Borough Council to help residents across the Borough mark the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day on May 8th.
The Coronavirus pandemic and lockdown has meant events planned to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of hostilities in Europe in 1945 have had to be shelved.
The early May Bank Holiday has been moved to Friday 8th to allow for a weekend of national commemorations, street parties and other events; these may now be held later in the year.
However, VE Day was 8 May in 1945 and Fareham Borough Council wants its residents to be able to mark the occasion on the actual 75th anniversary.
The Council has teamed up with a teacher to produce home schooling lesson plans and supporting resources for parents to help young people in the Borough learn about VE
Day.
The home-schooling pack is designed to be used each day in the week leading up to 8 May. The Council has also produced a “Stay At Home Street Party” pack for residents. It includes:
The downloadable home schooling and Stay At Home Street Party packs, and the Spotify playlist link, can be found at https://www.fareham.gov.uk/leisure/ve75.aspx

One Community – Able to Help
Covid guidelines are changing and many of our clients and service users will start thinking about going out. As our services start back, times and the service offer may have changed. Please talk to your usual contact for details. At One Community, however, we continue to offer our shopping and prescription collection service for those who need it for while there is a COVID-19 risk.
Our teams, in both Eastleigh and Fareham, are still able to either offer direct help (shopping, prescriptions, dog walking) or signposting to the help available.
Please ring us on 023 8090 2400 for Eastleigh or 07702 802555 in Fareham, 9am-4pm Monday to Friday.
MARVELLOUS MARVIN is out shopping for our vulnerable clients who are self isolating. Normally, Marvin is one of our DIAL-A-RIDE drivers.
If you need help or know someone who does, ring us on 023 8090 2400.
Minstead Trust is a member of One Community and supports a large number of service users in the Eastleigh community. They also run the all-inclusive and popular Skill-up community drop in group in the area on a Friday which, like so many services, has now understandably had to close its doors.
Furzey Gardens is now closed
Hanger Farm Arts centre is now closed
Minstead Lodge conference and event venue is now closed
The impact of Coronavirus across the whole of the Trust has been dramatic and they have now launched an emergency appeal so our brilliant, dedicated and hard-working staff continue to try and offer support to those most vulnerable in our society, putting themselves and their families at risk in order to do so.
