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.
We have an excellent bunch of people who work at and support this who attend Bursledon day services.
It’s a really cheerful environment where people are encouraged and enabled to take part in a variety of activities to keep active, improve well being and support physical, memory and other needs.
If you are looking for a part-time rewarding role in the Bursledon area, take a look at our jobs page.
Hello everyone.
We have a new and (we think!) easy to use donations system. We are in the process of changing all our donate buttons over to the new system but the links on the donations page are up and running. The new system is via CAF as VirginGiving ceased to offer donation support for charitable organisations at the close of 2021.
To save you following the link, here we are with the system form:
and the donate button.
You can choose how much to donate, when you give and how you give and what sorts of things your money supports in terms of projects within One Community.
If your organisation is a member of One Community and needs to change their donation platform, please reach out to us and we can support you with exploring your options and setting up a new provider.

Are you interested in volunteering?
One of the key things One Community does is to recruit, support and develop volunteering and voluntary organisations in the wider Eastleigh and Fareham areas.
We have started a new way of getting things going for volunteers who can search for opportunities in an easy and speedy way.
Organisations are really clearly represented and we think it looks slick!
It is also a way of bringing our office systems up to date. If you want to advertise a volunteering opportunity with your organisation get in touch by email: volunteer@1community.org.uk
Have a look at our new site and see for yourselves.
