Volunteers Week 2019 A BIG THANK YOU!

by

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

We are an independent charity that takes Gift Aid.

by

Because we run so many excellent services and supports for the communities around Eastleigh and Fareham, sometimes it is easy to forget we are the best local charity to support.

We are incredibly grateful to our volunteers, supporters and staff and those who help fund our work including those groups, organisations and individuals that finance our work.

The Eastleigh Mayor has chosen the One Community Visiting scheme as one of his charities to support this year.

Would you like to give us a one off donation or a regular amount of money to help us continue supporting people in our community lead fulfilling, independent lives?

You can donate easily via mobile phone, or email us for details info@1community.org.uk
Pop in and see us in our Eastleigh office, Eastleigh Museum or Fareham Shop.

If you do, please have a look at this form. It is for gift aid. If you pay tax, (which includes people on ESA and certain other allowances) you can give money to us and the government will give us more.
