One of our people living in the local community aged 94, told us about our volunteer who does her shopping.
She said: “The lovely young boy [he’s over 50] asked me, while we were chatting, when my birthday was. I said a man shouldn’t ask a lady things like that and laughed it off. He came back with a birthday card and a cake, and said it was my birthday today! It’s the nicest thing to happen since this started.”

It would be great if we could include a small card, just to say hello, in all the grocery bags we deliver to vulnerable people, to those living and working in care homes and to others who are having to self-isolate.
Could we ask you to ask anyone aged 2 to 100 years to produce a card and One Community will act as postman?
Cards can be dropped off at 75 Leigh Road (there is a letter box if we are closed). We will ensure they go out with shopping deliveries.
Cards can be drawn or created using photographs, we only ask that there are no identifying personal details – so please avoid people in any photographs, or house numbers etc.
If you wish to sign the card, please only give your first name as we will NOT pass on personal contacts.
We want to brighten people’s days.
Thank You.

On Wednesday 6 May we were asked to be part of an Eastleigh Borough Council initiative – a collective effort among the Eastleigh Coronavirus Support Support hub in Eastleigh – to get party fare to care homes across the borough to celebrate the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
Our community transport team scheduled deliveries for Thursday afternoon on our minibuses and half a dozen of our CV Response volunteers went out to shop for every bodies party favourites.
Pictured are David and Sally Lloyds out doing volunteer shopping.
We were delighted to do this as part of our CV Response work. If you are need of shopping, prescriptions or someone to phone and have a chat, let us know on 023 8090 2400 or info@1community.org.uk
VE Day Home Schooling and Stay at Home Street Party Pack Launched.
Home schooling resources and a “Stay At Home Street Party” pack have been launched by Fareham Borough Council to help residents across the Borough mark the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day on May 8th.
The Coronavirus pandemic and lockdown has meant events planned to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of hostilities in Europe in 1945 have had to be shelved.
The early May Bank Holiday has been moved to Friday 8th to allow for a weekend of national commemorations, street parties and other events; these may now be held later in the year.
However, VE Day was 8 May in 1945 and Fareham Borough Council wants its residents to be able to mark the occasion on the actual 75th anniversary.
The Council has teamed up with a teacher to produce home schooling lesson plans and supporting resources for parents to help young people in the Borough learn about VE
Day.
The home-schooling pack is designed to be used each day in the week leading up to 8 May. The Council has also produced a “Stay At Home Street Party” pack for residents. It includes:
The downloadable home schooling and Stay At Home Street Party packs, and the Spotify playlist link, can be found at https://www.fareham.gov.uk/leisure/ve75.aspx
