Do you manage volunteers in your organisation?
We have a course for you!
It is a FREE workshop in Eastleigh being held at the Point. It is on Wednesday 11th March 9:30-12:30.
It is all about building sustainable communities with volunteering as central.
Book via the link.
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.
The festive season is nearly with us and our Day Service teams have been planning plenty of opportunities for fun!
All of these pictures were taken at our central day activity centre.
There was plenty of music, singing and dancing and a wonderful treat when the children from local school, The Crescent came along to sing.
We have got some beautiful cards made too!
If you would like to do something different with your time, you could volunteer to help in the day service. If you would like more details or to chat through how we’d support, encourage and equip you to do it. Ring Julia on 02380902457
Email volunteer@1community.org.uk
If you know someone who has got some memory loss and would benefit from coming to do a range of activities, have a good hot meal and meet new friends, please get in touch.

We would love to hear from you?
If you can offer a couple of hours a week or more, have a look at our volunteering opportunities.
We have consistently found the volunteers who are well supported and valued get lots out of volunteering as well as benefitting society.
Confidence, increased personal value, new skills and meeting new friends are things that impact on the volunteer.
The place where the volunteer works find a new angle in terms of support, change of organisation dynamics and a warmth injection alongside practical support.
It’s an all round winner!
Here are two of the current volunteer roles- one is at One Community itself. 
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.
