Unity101fm Blue Lamp Trust (and Cricket!)

by Jenni Bevis-Lacey

Get yourself settled and be amazed by the fabulous Blue Lamp Trust.

There’s the Bobby scheme (safety and security support for vulnerable people.)

The taxi test and other training for drivers too.

September brings the launch of a new initiative safeguarding for taxi drivers.

We really did have a great chat about all this and we had a lovely talk, explaining all about how cricket works!

Thanks to the lovely Theresa for coming in to talk to us at One Community and all the unity101 listeners.

Here is our podcast:

Army volunteers.

by Jenni Bevis-Lacey

This week we have been having some amazing new volunteers, from the British Army no less!

Working on a One Community filming project, to be shown later this year, the soldiers have been out at our various locations. ShopMobility, Eastleigh Museum and Day Activity Centres have all had visits.

Today our chief executive Jean Roberts-Jones has been interviewed.

Our special employee, LBE the canine partner dog, gave them a very warm welcome!

Fareham Opportunities Fair 2019

by Jenni Bevis-Lacey

Twenty-three voluntary and community groups set up stands at the One Community Summer Volunteer and Community Opportunities Fair on a blisteringly hot day – Friday 12 July – in West Street, Fareham. The Fair was to promote voluntary and community activity in the borough of Fareham and to engage with people out and about in the town centre.
Organiser Hayley Hamlett said,

“It’s a great way to meet people who might never have thought about volunteering before, or to let people know about the services and activities that might be useful to them or their family members.”

Colourful stands attracted passers-by, and groups including Trefoil Guild, Scouts, British Legion, Fareham Library, Open Sight, and others supporting disabled people and refugees, were able to speak to those who may not have been aware of them before.

Christmas Tree FESTIVAL OPENS

by Jenni Bevis-Lacey

Community Christmas Tree Festival Opens!

The 2018 Community Christmas Tree Festival has opened at Eastleigh Museum with a gallery packed with beautiful trees, each representing a local voluntary or community group. The Boyatt Wood Partnership tree is literally created from Boyatt Wood – an artistic interpretation in twisted willow. The New Music Makers group from Hedge End has recycled music scores into exquisite decorations, while Headway Southampton’s art group has created a tree from used plastic bottles – incredibly pretty reflecting its Christmas lights.
Innovation and imagination abounds with decorations fashioned from lace, knitting and bricks! There are some thought provoking messages too, with trees from Wessex Cancer, Eastleigh Rotary’s Dementia Friends Campaign and from members of day centres around the borough.
The exhibition runs until Twelfth Night (5 January), and the museum, in Eastleigh’s High Street, is open 10am-4pm Monday to Friday and 10am-2pm Saturday. Please note the museum will be closed for Christmas from 1pm on Saturday 22 December, reopening on Wednesday 2 January.
