Twynams Charities are looking for volunteers to fill the vacant positions on our their Trustee Team.

They are looking for people who can consider the big picture and who have good independent judgement and useful knowledge and skills.

All Trustees must have a connection with the communities of Bishopstoke, Fair Oak and Horton Heath.

At our Fareham shop, there are a range of Halloween theme children’s costumes for the cost of a donation.

In Eastleigh Museum there is a ghost trail running all week. Find all the ghosts and get a little prize.

On Wednesday the 27th from 10-12.30 there is SLIME MAKING. All you need to do is bring your grown up. It is FREE to do and lots of goey fun.

Accessible film screenings

by

At The Point Theatre in Eastleigh there are a range of different films on to suit the needs of people living with impairments.

The idea is to have a more inclusive experience for all members of the community. Things like the 25 minute interval, keeping the lights on (low) add to a very welcoming, tolerant environment. Ticket holders even get a hot drink and biscuit thrown in!

The tickets are just £5 with if you are attending as a Carer you come in for FREE.

Corporate Volunteering

There is a broad range of activities you can choose from and this film introduces the Bursledon Brickworks Museum. You will discover how they have benefitted from corporate volunteers, hear from a volunteer and discover exciting plans ahead.

See short our amazing little film here.

Thriving communities, learning together.

by

As seen on our social media! Here are some details to clarify what thriving communities is and who should apply.

Thriving Communities is a new national support programmeprovided by the National Academy for Social Prescribing (NASP), launched in 2020.  The programme aims to bring all types of voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise groups in England to work alongside social prescribing link workers.  A further aim is to create collaboration at the local across different sectors of community activity – social/welfare, the arts and sports and leisure.

A current opportunity open to both voluntary and community sector representatives and those working in social prescribing services are the regional Learning Together sessions taking place this autumn.

Learning Together is a flexible programme of regional learning and development activities for voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise groups and organisations supporting their communities’ needs through delivery of social prescribing activities.

More details about how to apply can be found at this link – places for the South East Learning Together programme are still open and representation from Hampshire-based groups would be most welcome.
