Lifelines, Key safes, locks and integrated alarms
At One Community we do loads of really brilliant things to help vulnerable people stay at home.
One of these is Lifeline.
We also have some other things you might need to help you remain safe and independent.
Lifeline is a panic alarm you wear on your wrist or round your neck and if you needed emergency help, you just press the emergency button. The cost of one is from as little as £3.60 per week.
If you want one of these or would like to buy one for a friend or relative- ring 023 8090 2400 or email dwinnington@1community.org.uk or hmalcolm@1community.org.uk
You might choose to add in a falls detector for a small extra weekly fee.
We can install a lifeline within 48 hours (often the next working day) or the urgently same day for an extra charge.
Our installation is COVID safe and our friendly installers will show what to do and how it all works. You do not need a landline to have one fitted as a mobile number works just as well.
You can set up a local key holder who can come and help you in an emergency 24hours a day, 7 days per week. Or we can provide and fit a police grade key safe and master lock for you for help to use as needed.
In addition, you can choose to have smoke alarms, CO2 and flood detectors incorporated. These do incur an extra cost- please ring or email to request a price for these.
Most people opt to pay quarterly by direct debit. Or you can post a cheque to us.
Here is a menu of things you might like to consider.
* 48 hours installation (often the next working day) of lifeline to a landline or mobile £15
* Same day urgent installation £30
Weekly cost of Lifeline emergency alarm £3.60 or £46.80 per quarter.
* Weekly cost of a falls detector 50p per week
* Police grade Key Safe £85
* Master lock supplied and fitted £40

“The best toys focus on what a child can do rather than what the toy can do!” Could you design a toy or game that does exactly that? How would you develop your idea to take it further?
Release your inner inventor as we show you what it would take to get your great toy or game idea into planning! We’ve ditched the business gibberish in favour of a no-nonsense online programme, designed to guide those with no experience in product development to take you from first idea to final pitch for your hypothetical toy!
Full of fun, hands on activities and support as well as industry knowledge to get you thinking about all the stages involved with how you could get a new product idea shared to those in the know.
This programme is designed for those with no previous experience and don’t forget that additional individual support from our team is provided for every step of the way! If you’re looking to expand your skills and learn how to get a creative idea together through a manageable programme, then look no further!
Included in the workshops:
• Create a successful product plan
• Learn how to raise money for your product idea
• Understand how to establish and work to a budget
• Explore how to advertise and market your product
And much, much more!
Interested?

As we enter a time of increased numbers of people being asked to isolate, we need some volunteers to help out.
If you are fit and well with a couple of hours to give or more, please get in touch with us as soon as you can.
If you have volunteered with us before or you are new to volunteering it’s really a wonderful thing to do!!Our team at One Community will get your papers completed as soon as possible so we can get you out helping in our community.
Any hours you can offer are of help to us and the people isolating within the area.
We are particularly looking for volunteers to do some shopping and drop it off at a persons home.
Also, looking for people who can collect and deliver medical prescriptions.
