Valentines at Day Activity Services
We wanted to share what we have been doing in the day activity centres.
This week we followed a valentines theme and everyone who wanted to made delicious cakes. Everyone liked the icing and chocolate tops!
*Joan (not her real name) said this about our day activity service
I have memory loss and it’s a treasure to meet others & make friends with others that really understand. I get a good lunch and picked from my own front door.
Please ring us on 023 8090 2400 or email info@1community.org.uk to arrange a few day trial (with a small cost for transport and lunch.)
If you would like to volunteer with us to help in our day activity centres, please follow this link.

Volunteer Drivers for Young Carers
Our young carers are a fabulous group of kids. Through our young carers project they meet other children living with someone who has difficulties.
We have a busy set of activities like a weekly choir, youth groups and holiday activities.
It would be really wonderful to have you come and drive our young carers to and from their activities. We pay a good mileage rate, all you need is a car and business rate insurances. We will take care of all of your checks so you are good to go!
Drink bottle tops please
Would you mind keeping hold of drink bottle tops for us please?
Bring them into us at 75 Leigh Road, Eastleigh.
We are looking for the smaller ones from water bottles, fizzy pop bottles, squash bottles etc.
These are going to be used to cover up the numbers when we play bingo at our day activity centres.
If you wanted to come and join in with our day activity centres or join as a volunteer, ring us on 023 8090 2400 email info@1community.org.uk
Share your views on Climate Crisis.
Share your voice on the climate crisis
Be part of our new short video campaign
Eastleigh Borough Council is creating a short video to explore how local people feel about the climate and environmental emergency.
We also want to find out what changes our residents are making in their own lives to reduce their carbon footprint and support the environment, and how they feel their actions are making a difference, no matter how small. The film will be shared widely with the aim of inspiring others to take whatever action they can to make a difference.
We’re looking for people from all backgrounds, ages, genders, ethnicities and different parts of the Borough, because what happens to our environment affects us all.
Perhaps you work for a local business, school, college or another organisation and would like to share how employees, pupils, students or members feel about the climate crisis and what they are doing to address it. If so, we’d love to hear from you.
If you’d like to take part in this video, please email communications@eastleigh.gov.uk
Youth Boxing
Youth Boxing returns to Eastleigh! The free weekly sessions will be ran in the Energy Youth Centre in Eastleigh by a professional boxing coach, who will teach the youngsters to develop their fitness and discipline of the sport with friendly, non-contact boxing sessions.
Two youth workers will also be attending the lessons, encouraging people to discuss and explore the issues of youth violence in Eastleigh.
Membership is Changing
Change to Membership of One Community
We have been reviewing the membership structure of One Community in order to achieve the best possible service for the organisations with whom we work. Our aim is to make Core Membership more accessible and to preserve existing benefits in our Core Plus membership. One Community’s Board of Trustees has approved this new structure and, as of 1 April 2020, annual Core Membership will be free to all voluntary/community groups (including social enterprises) working in our current areas of benefit – the boroughs of Eastleigh and Fareham. Core Member organisations will be entitled to our volunteer and community support services but will not have the right to vote at our AGM.
For Core Plus members who wish to use our enhanced services (including Community Transport, Room Hire, DBS services), and have priority booking of our current training and marketing opportunities to promote their service (eg Network, Volunteering Matters, Unity 101, Pop Up Shops), and be able to vote at our AGM, there will be an annual fee of £17.50, payable by Direct Debit.
Associate Membership will be open to statutory agencies and non not-for-profit organisations. Associate Members will be entitled to the same as Core Plus members for a fee of £25, but will not be able to vote at our AGM.
An additional benefit of being a Core Plus member will be that One Community will introduce two open sessions during the year 2020/21 (one afternoon, one evening), where all Core Plus members will have the opportunity to meet Trustees and Senior Managers to ask about the future direction of both One Community and the voluntary sector in general, as well as having the opportunity to network. These opportunities will also provide One Community with vital insight in the work, successes and challenges of Core Plus Members allowing us to share key messages with statutory agencies with whom we work.
If you have any queries about the new membership structure, please call us on 023 8090 2458 or email vss@1community.org.uk

Wonderland arrives in Eastleigh
At the Eastleigh museum there is a really good small exhibition space and this time we have a corker for you!
Four amazing artists have collaborated to put together a mixture of sculpture, sound art, multimedia paintings and glass work. All of the art is for sale.
We have had a good time just being in the space and feeling really inspired, relaxed and peaceful.
As ever, you can pop in to the café area and enjoy a lovely hot drink. We have some lovely retro chairs in there to get comfortable on and of course the shop with new local produce in.
Here is a short film clip of one persons’ experience of the exhibition.
