Survey for under 25 yr olds

by

The OPCC and partners including HCC, Community First and the Police are conducting some research and mapping around youth mentoring schemes in Hampshire, IOW, Portsmouth and Southampton with the aim of understanding more about the extent of mentoring type schemes and to identify opportunities to further support existing arrangements/services and steer and inform decisions on future funding

A link to a survey targeted at existing mentoring (and similar support) schemes is below

https://survey.alchemer.eu/s3/90335347/Mentoring  

Your help in promoting and sharing this with any schemes or organisations you are in contact with and within your networks and partnerships would be appreciated. The deadline is 23rd April.

This mapping exercise forms part of a wider OPCC review of support for vulnerable young people up to the age of 25 years which is being led by

CEO Recruitment.

by

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.
We are looking for a CEO that has a suite of skills which enables them to sustain the positive current culture of our organisation whilst leading a strategy refresh and developing structures to support that strategy.

For further details about the application, please see our jobs page.

 

Exciting new YouTube “One Community Conversations” with coffee.

by

One Community really wants to encourage you to get more involved with the community where you live.

So, we have started making some YouTubes about subjects we are involved in promoting at One Community.

We have a lot of information and support on Trustees, therefore “Trustees” is the topic of the first “Community Conversation.”

It is relaxed, fun and chatty but also very informative about what a trustee is and is mostly speaking with people who are actually trustees.

Watch “What is a Trustee?” a One Community Conversation. and find out more about being a trustee.

Please click on our YouTube channel to subscribe and then you can catch all the YouTube’s we produce.

Join our Christmas Tree festival

by

Community Christmas Tree Festival, Eastleigh Museum 21 November-2 January
Please join us with your tree


We are inviting voluntary and community groups to participate in our Community Christmas Tree Festival at Eastleigh Museum, which will run 21 November-2 January this year (setting up on 18, 19 and 20 November). It is completely free to join in and because of the very challenging year we have all had, we are determined to make this – our fourth festival – the best ever, particularly as many Christmas events and celebrations may not be possible this year.


We are asking groups to contribute a Christmas tree to represent your organisation – it can be big or small, floor standing or table top, traditional in style or as creative an interpretation of a Christmas tree as you like!


Our theme for the 2020 Community Christmas Tree Festival is the community response to the challenges of COVID-19. This can take any form you choose, to reflect your experience, perceptions, gratitude, hopes, achievements, challenges and blessings of this extraordinary year. Here is a chance for you and your members to really express yourselves.


Your Christmas tree provides the perfect opportunity to promote your organisation/service, recruit volunteers or enrol new members. We will produce an A5 acrylic sign to go next to your tree, based on the information you give in your booking form.
We will stagger the setting up times to ensure that we maintain appropriate social distancing, and can assure you that the Museum and its activities have been carefully risk assessed and the premises and protocols adapted to be Covid safe.


To book your place please call us on 023 8064 1202, or email volunteer@1community.org.uk
