Criminal Record Checks

by Jenni Bevis-Lacey

In your organisation, do you have contact with children or vulnerable people? Then you should have a DBS check done for you and those who work with you.

There is a really useful website HERE with all the information to hand- hold you through the process of criminal record checks.

One Community have a service to do DBS checks for member organisations. If you would like any assistance with this or any other matter involving your voluntary organisation, please contact us call us on 023 8090 2400 or email vss@1community.org.uk

One Community Supporting the VE 75 Celebrations

On Wednesday 6 May we were asked to be part of an Eastleigh Borough Council initiative – a collective effort among the Eastleigh Coronavirus Support Support hub in Eastleigh – to get party fare to care homes across the borough to celebrate the 75th anniversary of VE Day.

Our community transport team scheduled deliveries for Thursday afternoon on our minibuses and half a dozen of our CV Response volunteers went out to shop for every bodies party favourites.

Pictured are David and Sally Lloyds out doing volunteer shopping.

We were delighted to do this as part of our CV Response work. If you are need of shopping, prescriptions or someone to phone and have a chat, let us know on 023 8090 2400 or info@1community.org.uk

Volunteers Week 2019 A BIG THANK YOU!

by Jenni Bevis-Lacey

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I should like to thank all our wonderful volunteers who support those who use our services. Whether your voluntary role brings you into face contact with people, you work behind the scenes, help with fundraising, marketing or research or if you are one of the many partners of our volunteers supporting them to give their time to One Community – a huge thank you. Without you we could not do the things we do, or maintain the consistency, reliability and standard and thereby together we make a difference to the lives of many people.
Many thanks,

Adrian
