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

Grants Available.

The deadline to apply for grant funding to help vulnerable groups apply for the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) is under a month away: 12pm on 1 Feb 2019, so here is a We’d also really appreciate it if you could remind organisations you work with about the upcoming deadline, as we’d like to use this final push to ensure as many organisations as possible have the opportunity to apply for grant funding.

—————–
The Home Office have pledged £9 million of grant funding, available to voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations to help vulnerable or at-risk EU citizens needing additional support when applying for the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS).

Ensuring that vulnerable or at-risk EU citizens and their families are supported to obtain a status is a critical objective in the delivery of the EUSS and the grant funding. The Home Office will set out to create a network of funded organisations to ensure that a range of services are mobilised across the UK, so that support and assistance to apply for the EUSS is available to meet those who require the most support.

Extensive engagement with VCS organisations has also helped to shape the development of the grant funding. Following insight gained during the market engagement, there will be two levels of award:

· Level one – to fund grant projects from £5,000 up to £39,999; and
· Level two – to fund grant projects from £40,000 up to £750,000.

Organisations are invited to submit proposals as to how they can support the diversity of needs of a diverse EU citizen population to make their EUSS applications. The application period for bids will close at 12pm on 1 February 2019.
