The One Community Blog

Here you will find a range of stories from our staff relating to the effect our services have on local lives, and also on the general topic areas we work in. This differs from the news page which looks at what we are doing internally as One Community, as here we look externally to how we sit within the wider community.

Library Outreach Volunteer

by

Volunteer Centre Library Outreach Volunteer

Volunteer Centre One Community is looking for outreach volunteers to have a stand once a month for a couple of hours at libraries across the borough of Eastleigh.

You would talk to people about the benefits of volunteering and give information, newsletters and leaflets about volunteering opportunities available in the area.

This would suit someone who would enjoy chatting with people and finding out what kind of volunteering would be right for them, in terms of their interests, their time available, geographical location and what they would hope to get out of their volunteering, e.g. experience for their CV, meeting new people, supporting a cause they feel passionate about, using existing skills or learning new ones.

Mileage expenses reimbursed.

Volunteer’s Week 2021. An important video from the Voluntary Sector manager and our CEO.

by

It’s a glorious sunny week and we, alongside many others are celebrating volunteers and recognising their extraordinary contribution, especially during the pandemic.

This short clip is to say a BIG THANK-YOU that what you have done has been of huge value to us and the communities you serve.

Here is the clip.

Half term at Eastleigh Museum.

by

Our friendly, welcoming relaxed environment is ready and covid safe to welcome families once more.

Please see our short film about our opening welcome ??

This week, during normal opening hours until Saturday 5th June, we are running TWO activities for children.

We are running our very popular mug painting activity. It is £2 per mug and each child should bring a grown up. No need to book.

There is a trail round the museum with tricky clues and little prize for a completed set of things you’ve found.

Again no booking required, just pop in while we are open 10-4 on weekdays and 10-2 on Saturdays.

We have a really good little cafe with hot and cold drinks and cakes. Plus, a shop featuring excellent local produce. (The writer of this piece recommends the coffee ?? and the local honey ?!)
