Great News! We have completed fitting of screens to 3 of the minibuses meaning we have increased capacity in the fleet.
Screens make the vehicles much more covid secure as they provide a physical barrier between the drivers and passengers compartments so making them compliant with social distancing and making travel safer for the users and the drivers.
Good Eh?
Ring 023 8090 2450 to book a dial-a-ride covid secure journey.

As part of its response to the public health emergency posed by COVID-19 #Coronavirus, Hampshire County Council has extended the hours of operation of the Hampshire ENCTS bus pass scheme from its current 09:30 to 24:00 on weekdays and at all times at weekends and on public holidays, to all days and all times.
This will only apply to those community transport services on which people can currently use their bus passes.
This will apply to One Community’s Dial-A-Ride, #Dial-A-Ride Shopping services and #ParishLink, but not the Hedge End Park service.
This is a temporary measure for the duration of the public health #emergency only.
For further information about One Community’s #transport services please phone 023 8090 2450 or 023 8090 2432
Would you like to look round the shops, stop for a coffee and have a sit about in the park? Is this a distant dream as you have had a recent operation, a poorly leg, iffy balance, an accident or just poor mobility?

We are looking for volunteer drivers- if you would like to apply- email Charlotte volunteer@1community.org.uk
We need more drivers to volunteer with us. Have a read of this and see if it chimes with you? Is this the sort of thing you would like to get involved in?
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I will begin! One day one of our passengers booked his dial-a-ride as he wanted to go to Haskins in West End to buy an Aloe Vera plant. All ready to go, he was geared up but when the day came, he was not well enough to go. He was ever so disappointed.
There was no chance of getting one any other way.
But One Community’s transport team swung into action and someone took time out at the weekend and bought him an Aloe Vera plant!
He was overjoyed with his lovely plant and the genuine kindness shown.
We would LOVE to hear from you if you could offer a few hours volunteering as a driver for us.
