Drivers Needed Short Term for Pre-Christmas

by

Demand for Eastleigh Basics Bank service has risen 300% with the COVID-19 pandemic and is set to rise further, as it always does, in the run up to Christmas. Volunteer drivers are needed short term in the weeks before Christmas to deliver food to people in need.

Please can you help? Volunteer drivers collect food parcels for a given area. You can give a day/days you are available and you will be called if needed.

This would be early afternoon on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

Please contact the Volunteer Centre at One Community if you can help: email volunteer@1community.org.uk or call 023 8064 1202

On Tuesday’s in the afternoon from 3 it is community hour on radio Unity101fm.

There is a vast number of services and supports we offer. Hayley even included a special code offer for listeners to have a bargain lifeline installation.

So it is worth a listen!

Join our Christmas Tree festival

by

Community Christmas Tree Festival, Eastleigh Museum 21 November-2 January
Please join us with your tree


We are inviting voluntary and community groups to participate in our Community Christmas Tree Festival at Eastleigh Museum, which will run 21 November-2 January this year (setting up on 18, 19 and 20 November). It is completely free to join in and because of the very challenging year we have all had, we are determined to make this – our fourth festival – the best ever, particularly as many Christmas events and celebrations may not be possible this year.


We are asking groups to contribute a Christmas tree to represent your organisation – it can be big or small, floor standing or table top, traditional in style or as creative an interpretation of a Christmas tree as you like!


Our theme for the 2020 Community Christmas Tree Festival is the community response to the challenges of COVID-19. This can take any form you choose, to reflect your experience, perceptions, gratitude, hopes, achievements, challenges and blessings of this extraordinary year. Here is a chance for you and your members to really express yourselves.


Your Christmas tree provides the perfect opportunity to promote your organisation/service, recruit volunteers or enrol new members. We will produce an A5 acrylic sign to go next to your tree, based on the information you give in your booking form.
We will stagger the setting up times to ensure that we maintain appropriate social distancing, and can assure you that the Museum and its activities have been carefully risk assessed and the premises and protocols adapted to be Covid safe.


To book your place please call us on 023 8064 1202, or email volunteer@1community.org.uk
