INSTAGRAM Photo Competition.

2) Upload photo of our bus onto INSTAGRAM.

We have two prizes.

Prize 1 is for the most tagged photos of different buses.

Prize 2 is for the BEST photo of a One Community bus.

Prizes for the winners to choose from are:
A cinema light box and pocket photography book or an afternoon tea for 2.

Our Transport team are skilled at getting people on our buses and taking them to our Day Services. Our buses take people to groups and clubs or into the town to do some shopping. We have a Dial-A-Ride service and a really good service to take people to the Marks and Spencer and Sainsbury’s retail site. We often run trips and days out for our passengers.

We do need more drivers for our buses and if you can give us a few hours of your time we would love to have you in our team. We will help you with getting all your paperwork and MiDAS training through. Just ring 023 8090 2400 or email volunteer@1community.org.uk.

Staging Faith Interview.

by

Today, live on Unity101fm we interviewed the wonderful Joanna from Staging Faith.
We talked about loads of things! The point being that Staging Faith is a group set up for children and young people from year 4 and up. The children who go come from various churches, faiths and religions but come together to do a play about common values. This time the play is called “Vincent” and is all about kindness. As you will hear on the podcast, Joanna and her team have put their all into providing an exciting evening entertainment that gives young people a chance to hone their skills.

Here is the podcast.

Staging faith has a few tickets left for Friday 31st May and several tickets left for Saturday 1st June. They cost £2 a ticket. 7.30 start. At Chandlers Ford Methodist Church.

HACK for good

by

HACK2!

A little while ago One Community applied to HACK2 with a project idea- to improve the body image of older people. With such large charities applying, like Shelter and Mind we were not sure that we would get through. But! We have got through! Yesterday, our very own Abi Benham went along and saw some extremely talented individuals and teams and their awesome ideas on developing our project into a reality. One Community are SO excited to be part of HACK for good, discussing with team @etch how body image affects older people and what we can do about it!
Here is a link to the HACK2 information. https://lnkd.in/e5Qn4EC

Calling Local Business’, groups and kind people.

Please help our raffle.

We have a quiz and supper night at the Eastleigh Railway Institute on Friday the 31st of May. It is being run by Eastleigh Lions and the aim is to help raise money for much needed new One Community bus.

These buses help vulnerable, disabled and older people to access services and the community. These buses provide a door to door service for people. The drivers and assistants make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. They give a cheery “Hello” and help the person on and off as needed. It is a great thing for people who are perhaps lonely as the regular passengers form a community of itself and have a chat on the bus. Honestly, it is a wonderful thing to support.

At this event we will be having a raffle and we need four more prizes. Ideally we would like some services or lovely things to give away as prizes.

If you have a service or an item you would like to give to us, please call 023 8090 2400 or email info@1community.org.uk.

Thank you!

Do you shop on Amazon.co.uk? Most internet users have at some time or another. The next time you go to buy something via Amazon, please go via AmazonSmile. It is really easy to set up and costs you nothing, you get all the same offers and range of goods, but for some purchases Amazon will give us some money.

3. Now, tap the square shaped ‘share’ button on the bottom of the screen.
4. Tap the ‘Add to Home Screen’ icon. You may need to swipe to the left to see this:

5. You will now have an AmazonSmile icon on your home screen which you can use in exactly the same way you used the Amazon App.
