It would be great if we could include a small card, just to say hello, in all the grocery bags we deliver to vulnerable people, to those living and working in care homes and to others who are having to self-isolate.
Could we ask you to ask anyone aged 2 to 100 years to produce a card and One Community will act as postman?
Cards can be dropped off at 75 Leigh Road (there is a letter box if we are closed). We will ensure they go out with shopping deliveries.
Cards can be drawn or created using photographs, we only ask that there are no identifying personal details – so please avoid people in any photographs, or house numbers etc.
If you wish to sign the card, please only give your first name as we will NOT pass on personal contacts.
We want to brighten people’s days.
Thank You.

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.
These events are all happening in support of the Eastleigh Mayors charities which, this year, include One Community projects.
You will all know that One Community moved out of our Romsey Road address at the end of September 2019. It was a MASSIVE undertaking and took a great deal of planning and practical hands on to achieve. With many hands to the pump, transport department were able to get through their sorting, packing and moving.
We have moved into our offices into 75 Leigh road, and are all set up, taking your calls and bookings.
As with the whole team, we know we are only here for a year or so while the Romsey Road buildings are demolished and a really nice, modern practical office space is built for us to move back into.
At the moment, the building we are in has not got any disabled access. So, if you need to see us, face to face, please just ring or email us and we can arrange to meet you at The Point in Eastleigh (almost straight opposite from number 75 Leigh Road.)
