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.
Local charities, voluntary and community groups can book a one-off slot, perhaps in relation to a particular campaign “day” or “week”, or a regular slot, such as the first Monday of the month, for your organisation to showcase your services, host a meeting or simply attract new members.
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.
If you are interested, please contact the Voluntary Sector Support Team on 023 8090 2458 or email vss@1community.org.uk for more details.
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.
