Book a slot in our Eastleigh Shop

by

In the Swan Centre in Eastleigh we are sharing a shop space with the charity flourish.

This is quite a large and mostly open space with power and light and easy access. I have used it a few times supporting a novice computer user. It is ideal for meetings or sessions and we can offer it for people to use within the voluntary sector.

If you help run a local group and are volunteers and would like to take a look around the space or go ahead and book a slot you can. The shop is available Monday- Thursdays from 10-4 booking with us at One Community.

Naomi Stock is managing the bookings and can be contacted via email NStock@1community.org.uk or call on 023 8064 1202.

NHS new hospital in Hampshire consultation

by

This is about Hampshire Together and their public engagement campaign involving all NHS and social care services across; Alton, Andover, Basingstoke, Eastleigh, Winchester and the surrounding areas.

The centrepiece will be the construction of a brand new hospital – but the programme’s impact will reach far beyond the walls of this new building, involving GPs, mental health, community care, social care and the wider voluntary sector, as well as acute hospital care.

An engagement session for community and voluntary groups in the Eastleigh area is taking place at 10am next Wednesday (24 June). It will be an online session, hosted via Zoom, and in order to take part, people need to register by visiting this link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/109618517938

The event will give groups an introduction to the aims and vision of the programme and also the opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions.

Please book your place via the event Birte link above.

Look at what is happening in your area….

by

We have a lot of things to tell you about every month and we produce “Network” and “Volunteering Matters.”

Every few months we produce “NEXUS.”

These are always interesting and high quality, full of interesting articles, adverts, events and news. In the last few months these have been extra important because of the COVID-19 crisis. NEXUS covers the work the CVS (community voluntary services) have been doing all over Southern Hampshire.

You can download copies which cover the Eastleigh area here.

You can download copies which cover the Fareham area here.

NEXUS can be found here.

We update these pages regularly so you should be able to find the latest publications easily.

RADICAL RAFI, shopping help!

by

Here is one of our superb CV response volunteers our shopping for vulnerable people who have to self-isolate.

Raphaelle Vingre is really enjoying doing this role.

Here are some comments we have had from the people we have helped:

I’m so grateful for all the One Community volunteers, they’re kind, friendly and do a great job. I feel supported.

Having shopping delivered means I can stop worrying about trying to eek out my supplies until my son can get to the shops. He works shifts so it’s been very difficult. We are so glad of this wonderful service. Plus they [the volunteers] are cheerful and smile and wave. That means a lot to me.

My neighbour lives alone and I was concerned about her not getting her medication, so I rang One Community. They took it all in hand and deliver her medications every week. I was so relieved.

If you need medications or shopping delivered as you are vulnerable and self isolating ring us on 023 8090 2400 or email vss@1community.org.uk

If you know anyone in need by all means call us and we can try to help. We work in Eastleigh and Fareham areas in Hampshire.
