Happy New Year

by

We wish all our; customers, staff, volunteers and the communities of Eastleigh and Fareham we serve, a very happy new year!

Looking back over 2019, we have done so much! Looking back to Shop Mobility collecting their service award from the mayor of Eastleigh, fast forward to moving to our temporary premises at 75 Leigh Road.

We have all worked hard to improve the lot of people in Fareham and Eastleigh through our community project support, volunteering, Eastleigh museum’s and Fareham’s shop outreach and Young Carers groups. Our transport appeal for funding for a new bus is almost at the point of being able to get one on the road and the day activity services are a fun and welcoming place to be.

One Community is changing and in 2020 and we are looking forward to sharing a swan centre shop with local charity Fledge in the spring. We have several new training opportunities too.

Wishing all of you a very happy new year!

From all of us at One Community.

GIVE THE GIFT OF TIME!

Pledge to volunteer in 2020 in someone else’s name for 50, 100 or 250 hours. Yes

  • 50 hours could equal one hour a week visiting a lonely person, or fundraising for a minibus.
  • 100 hours could equal driving for a local group, or providing IT or admin support.
  • 250 hours could equal volunteering in a museum, hospital or charity shop.

We can help you to find the right role for you and produce a personalised gift certificate and letter for you to give to the recipient of your gift. Perfect for Christmas, birthday or thank you gifts.

Auntie Doris might get lots of visitors, but she might be thrilled to know you are visiting older people who don’t see anyone, and that you are doing it as a gift to her.

Find out more about how to make a pledge by contacting us on 023 8090 2457 or emailing us volunteer@1community.org.uk

Volunteering opportunities

by

If you can offer a couple of hours a week or more, have a look at our volunteering opportunities.

We have consistently found the volunteers who are well supported and valued get lots out of volunteering as well as benefitting society.

Confidence, increased personal value, new skills and meeting new friends are things that impact on the volunteer.

The place where the volunteer works find a new angle in terms of support, change of organisation dynamics and a warmth injection alongside practical support.

It’s an all round winner!

Here are two of the current volunteer roles- one is at One Community itself.

Pick a Snowman’s Nose !

by

At the West Street Christmas Lights event in Fareham on the 24th of November, you can come and find Hayley and the team and play some silly games. The event is running from 10-6 and is a lovely community event. This year the theme is a Victorian Christmas.

Games include splat the rat… and…..Pick a snowman’s nose.Yes, any carrot could win and it has to be an improvement for our poor specimen here! He’s more of a Kira Knightley than a Barry Manilow that’s for sure!

It is just £1 for 3 goes. Everyone gets a prize.

So come and join us and win!

Hampshire Volunteer survey

by

We are sharing this with you as we know lots of you are volunteers or are involved with organisations who are involved with volunteers.

Hampshire County Council in partnership with Hampshire CVS Network and the University of Winchester wants to find out more about Hampshire residents’ attitudes to volunteering and informal help-giving, particularly in relation to supporting older people. As part of this outreach we would like you to assist us in publicising a survey open to the general public.

 

Please publicise our survey:

 

The public survey here asks for feedback on:

 

  • Whether there are particular types of volunteering opportunities that attract people more than others 
  • More generally, what might attract people to volunteering
  • The barriers that would prevent someone from becoming a volunteer
  • The support might people need to help them to step forward
  • Whether people would want to access support from volunteers, and if so, how would they wish to do this?

 

The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete, and is open now for adults of all ages to respond.  The survey closes on 30 November 2019.

 

Please take our organisation survey if you work with volunteers:

 

The County Council and partners are also keen to get the views of community organisations, on how they currently deploy volunteers, and what future demand for volunteers might look like. To take the organisation survey click here.

 

We appreciate your support and look forward to the findings and strengthening our connections across Hampshire.

They want to hear about how different people offer and receive unpaid support in their local #neighbourhoods and #communities. https://healthhampshirecc.researchfeedback.net/s.asp?k=156932086570 or if you need a paper copy, we have them at Eastleigh Museum or larger Hampshire Libraries.
