At One Community we are committed to improving the opportunities and lives of all of the community. Part of this role is to research, present and make recommendations for improvements to current practice and take these ideas to move forwards in a positive direction.
We have just completed an important piece of research into Hate Crime against LGBQT+ people in the Eastleigh area. This is to examine the current levels of hate crime reported in the borough and consider ways this could be improved.
The report concludes with several recommendations for organisations working in the community.
We would like to thank all those who contributed to this research.

On Saturday the 16th of November, our very own Santa came to Eastleigh Museum.
Here is the wonderful team who really made the day fabulous and the grotto inviting.
We had lots of families, with young and not so young come in to see us. It was a really lovely time of lights, fun and community.
If you would like to be a part of our team of volunteers at Eastleigh Museum or doing a range of different volunteering things, click HERE.
In Eastleigh town centre there are lots of fun things going on for everyone to enjoy.
You will find our stall in the town and you can pop into Eastleigh Museum, pay £3 and you can meet Santa!
It really is a great event rounded off with a firework display.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

On Tuesday the 12th of November it is Purple Tuesday. Purple Tuesday is an organisation which tries to make shops, services and businesses more accessible and inclusive of disabled customers.
Across the UK, the Purple Pound – the consumer spending power of disabled people and their families – is worth £249 billion and is rising by an average of 14% each year.
Worldwide, the Purple Pound equates to a staggering £2.25 trillion, yet less than 10% of businesses have a targeted plan to access this disability market. As a result, many disabled people cannot access services and businesses.
Purple Tuesday is about improvements to businesses and services to value and meet the needs of disabled customers. It is about making the customer experience accessible.
In the Eastleigh Swan Shopping Centre we will have a stall on Tuesday the 12th from 11-3. We will have leaflets and information about One Community, including Hate Crime reporting.
Please come along and chat with us, we would like to see you and hear how you would like access to services and businesses improved.
THE EASTLEIGH community reporter will be hosting weekly drop-in sessions, where you can come along and share your stories or events.
Daniel Vassie, who joined the Daily Echo last month, will be present in the information room of Eastleigh Museum every Monday from 12 until 1pm.
This is a chance for members of the Eastleigh community to visit the local reporter to make sure they are represented in the News.
This scheme has already been successful in Romsey, and we are hoping the same can be done for Eastleigh and the surrounding areas.
