Call out for Local Theatre Makers & Youth workers
The Point and David Glass Ensemble are keen to engage with local practitioners with a strong interest in working with young people to join us on an exciting new project which uses theatre and creativity to empower young people and give voice to the voiceless.
Renowned teacher and founder of the Lost Child Project, David Glass, will be leading a three-day introduction into the Lost Child Practice, which will launch a future Lost Child Project to happen in Eastleigh and surrounding areas over 2021/2022.
Workshop dates 1st, 2nd and 3rd June – This workshop is free of charge, and will take place at The Point, Eastleigh.
It may be that you are able to attend as part of time spent in your existing role. If, however, you are a self employed freelancer and this would constitute additional work for you, The Point is lucky to be able to offer limited bursaries to compensate you for time spent training. Please contact me if this applies to you!
Please share this opportunity further if it might suit your colleagues or people in your network. Interested parties should reply to me to let us know they’d like to take part.
We are limited to just 7 spaces, so be sure not to miss out!
If you have any queries at all, do get in touch – I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,

Do you have 10 or more people working in your organisation?
You can pick up lateral flow tests for them to do at home or in the office.
Lateral flow tests are very quick and you know within 30mins if you are positive for COVID-19. If you do test positive, you would isolate immediately and go & book to have a standard PCR test at a testing centre.
With as many as 1 in 3 people not having any symptoms regular testing is an important element in the fight against the pandemic.
Your organisation will need to register.

If your organisation has fewer than 10 employees, please use he lateral flow centres in your area.

As many of you will know, Jean our CEO is retiring in September 2021.
Here is what she had to say:
“I have just loved the job of CEO here at One Community, so it was one of the hardest decisions I have made to retire in September.
You can see what a difference we make to the lives of those with whom we work.
Great team, great network of people, great job.“
We are looking for an exceptional individual to take up the reins and ensure the Charity’s legacy for the future.
