One Community

We are an independent charity that takes Gift Aid.

by

Because we run so many excellent services and supports for the communities around Eastleigh and Fareham, sometimes it is easy to forget we are the best local charity to support.

We are incredibly grateful to our volunteers, supporters and staff and those who help fund our work including those groups, organisations and individuals that finance our work.

The Eastleigh Mayor has chosen the One Community Visiting scheme as one of his charities to support this year.

Would you like to give us a one off donation or a regular amount of money to help us continue supporting people in our community lead fulfilling, independent lives?

You can donate easily via mobile phone, or email us for details info@1community.org.uk
Pop in and see us in our Eastleigh office, Eastleigh Museum or Fareham Shop.

If you do, please have a look at this form. It is for gift aid. If you pay tax, (which includes people on ESA and certain other allowances) you can give money to us and the government will give us more.

Like driving? Drive for us!

Look at these glorious buses!

Aren’t they beauties?

If you have a few hours to give (literally 2 hours would be fabulous), we would LOVE to have you driving these buses. We do MiDAS training and will get all your forms up together.

We are fundraising through LIONS for a brand new bus, (Quiz night coming up)maybe you will get a go on that? Tempting eh?

Here is a comment from one of our drivers about the variety of journeys they get involved with.

“The day trips I do are normally to different pubs. The favourite pub is the Inn By The Swan at Lee on Solent. They love the carvery there and the staff are so very helpful, we stop off at the sea front on a good day and they like to have an ice cream and watch the sea for a while. We then stop at a local farm shop where they all trundle off the mini bus and buy fruit, veg and flowers of the season. I normally have two bus loads and the drivers help me with getting the food for passengers that have difficulties.”

Also, we need people to drive their own cars about to take people from A to B.

It is good fun and we have a wonderful set of passengers who would love to meet you.

Email us volunteer@1community.org.uk

Ring us on 023 8090 2400 and ask about joining our volunteer drivers team.

Very generous Easter Bunnies!

by

Our wonderful passengers help young carers.

For Easter many Hedge End Park & Dial-A-Ride passengers collected over 200 Easter eggs for young carers. They have collected so much for the lovely young carers who deserve all the great gifts donated by our kind passengers. This is not the first time they have provided such generous gifts and over the years hundreds of eggs have been given alongside other lovely things.

Our passengers have noticed that a little bit of kindness really does go a very long way. We think they are GREAT!

You could give us a bit of kindness very easily.

  1. Sign up for AmazonSmile when you do your shopping online.
  2. Volunteer for a few hours a week, we will find you something to suit your talents and time.
  3. Train with us and DRIVE OUR BEAUTIFUL BUSES (with these cracking passengers on them!)
  4. Donate £5 by texting 1COM5 to 70085 for us to run dial-ride & our other services, like young carers (we won’t bother you with marketing texts.)
  5. Ring us on 023 8090 2400 or email info@1community.org.uk and register to use our bus services.

AmazonSmile (costs you nothing & helps us.)

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.

If you are on a desktop or laptop just google AmazonSmile and set up One Community as your chosen charity, it tells you exactly what to do.

Here is how to use AmazonSmile on your iPhone / iOS:
Although there is no AmazonSmile App it’s really easy to create a shortcut to your phone home screen and it will feel just like using the Amazon App.
1. If you have the Amazon App installed you should remove it. To do this, tap and hold the app icon until it starts jiggle. Tap the cross at the top left of the icon and confirm that you want to delete it. Don’t worry, this will not delete your Amazon account or any of your settings.
2. You now need to go online via the iPhone internet browser and go to smile.amazon.co.uk. Select One Community as your charity and this will come up on your screen:
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.

How to use AmazonSmile on your android phone/ device:
1. If you have the Amazon App installed you should remove it. Don’t worry, this will not delete your Amazon account or any of your settings.
2. You now need to go online and go to smile.amazon.co.uk. Select One Community as your charity and this will come up on your screen
