Can you knit or crochet ??

by Jenni Bevis-Lacey

It is winter and our wonderful buses are out picking up our vulnerable day service passengers and dropping them home safely.

Inside the bus, despite the heating older people and disabled people can get cold quickly.

We would LOVE some lap blankets to keep everyone toastier!

What a lovely gift to give ??

Altogether, we need 35.

If you think you’d like to make one for us, please drop it into us at 75 Leigh road, Eastleigh SO50 9DQ.

We have found some FREE patterns to you to try:

Crochet EASY

Knitting EASY

Bus Photo WINNER!

by Jenni Bevis-Lacey

A couple of weeks ago we ran an INSTAGRAM competition. It was for people to take photographs of our buses in the area, upload them to their INSTAGRAM account and tag @1Comm (our charity’s account).

There was a wonderful prize of afternoon tea offered for the winning photograph.

We had a good look at the entries and in the end agreed on:

“Pussy Passengers”

Yesterday we were able to congratulate the winner, Ricky Vivian….

Ricky said:

“Thank you for this wonderful prize. I will enjoy taking my Mum on the Watercress line for our afternoon tea.”

Congratulations Ricky from all of us at One Community!

Very generous Easter Bunnies!

by Jenni Bevis-Lacey

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.
