One Community

Encouraging a good environment.

by

At One Community we would like to encourage everyone to look at their environmental impact.

In December we had a good radio interview with Giles Gooding (Sustainability officer at Eastleigh Borough Council) about conserving energy and trying to protect the world where we are.

Podcast here

If your organisation would like free advice and support about sustainability, please get in touch with Giles here.

With many families working from home and home schooling, when you do get a chance to spend time together maybe have a go at these recycling makes.

First, check out this great little film aimed at children about reducing, reusing and recycling. We have been sharing Facebook posts about making bird feeders.

Here are some solitary bee ? houses to try and make. HERE

In the meantime you might have seen on BBC Winterwatch a U.K. wide societal science project.

From 29th-31st January is the Great Garden Birdwatch, RSPB: https://buff.ly/3bBY8dk


We would love to have your bird pictures to post on the website and on social media so please send in your art & photographs. #birdwatch

URGENT- we need COVID SUPPORT VOLUNTEERS

by

Would you have a couple of hours a week or more to give to a person in need in the Eastleigh area during the pandemic? If you are a student, furloughed or looking for a job this is a great thing for your CV while you are not in work.

If you simply have a few hours you can give to those who are vulnerable in our community- we would LOVE to hear from you.

We often get quotes from our volunteers, here is one we had recently.

“I started volunteering to help out but I did not realise how much volunteering would help me out- I am more confident and it is fun!“

We are looking for volunteers to help with:

  • Shopping and delivery
  • Companionship telephone calls
  • Basics Bank deliveries

If you think you would like to help, ideally you will have a DBS and 2 references, but if you do not have these yet- please still contact us and we will assist you. We cover the cost of calls and the fuel costs involved.

Please email: volunteer@1community.org.uk or call 023 8090 2400 and ask for the volunteering department.

Over the past months Eastleigh Young Carers team have been working hard to provide support for children in our project.

Look Up & Learn

OK. We know. It is lockdown again and frankly many are struggling. It is grey and cold and easy to feel rather flat.
We want to make things better for you here at One Community.

So, if you are running a voluntary organisation or charity you and your awesome people might like to raise their sights and learn some new skills.

The level of training we are offering on ZOOM is superb and if you want to give yourselves an uplift by learning something new or getting more practice on something you know a bit about already- check out the courses listed.

Our training manager Hayley Hamlett would love to take your bookings. Email her hhamlett@1community.org.uk or call 01329 239 934

Growing food, sharing it through Eastleigh Basics bank via One Community.

by

Great job growing food and getting it to people who need it.

Local Ghurka Nepalese association has had a bumper crop they are sharing with the aid of One Community. Donating via Eastleigh’s food bank (called Eastleigh Basics Bank) these fantastic volunteers have given and continue to give an amazing amount of time, care and commitment. Plus a much needed selection of fresh, locally grown food.

Read more in this insightful article by the daily echo.

One Community’s transport and logistics team were involved this year and we continue in delivering food to the vulnerable during lockdown & tier 4 into 2021. If you know someone who is vulnerable & needs our help, please get in touch. Tel 023 8090 2400 or email reception@1community.org.uk
