All your wonderful gifts are ready to go and 60 of them are off to Community First’s Day Centre.
Pam has been given her gift by one of our elves already!
Thank you so much for your kind giving. Our shop volunteers have been wrapping them ready to give to people who otherwise may not have anything to unwrap.
If you have a few things you have ready to donate, it isn’t too late to put them unwrapped into the huge empty present inside the Fareham Shopping Centre.
At the Fareham Shop, opposite Millets in the shopping centre you’ll find a festive feast!
Tinsel, trees, baubles and loads of Christmas gift ideas. DVDs, books and homecrafted things of glory are available for pocket money prices.
Plus great information about community groups, organisations and volunteering opportunities.

We know many people in Eastleigh and Fareham have struggled with isolation and loneliness this past year in particular.
To cheer them right up we are holding a Christmas Tea for them at Eastleigh Museum to meet one another and enjoy a bit of festive cheer.
We made a little film for you to watch and share all about it:

Please sponsor a place for a lonely person to meet with others at a special
Christmas Tea at Eastleigh Museum.
To give text 1COMM10 to 20085 or pop a tenner in an envelope labelled Christmas Tea Appeal into One Community office, 75 Leigh Rd, Eastleigh, SO50 9PQ
Over the festive period there is much more rubbish left out for the bins than normal.

The festive season is nearly with us and our Day Service teams have been planning plenty of opportunities for fun!
All of these pictures were taken at our central day activity centre.
There was plenty of music, singing and dancing and a wonderful treat when the children from local school, The Crescent came along to sing.
We have got some beautiful cards made too!
If you would like to do something different with your time, you could volunteer to help in the day service. If you would like more details or to chat through how we’d support, encourage and equip you to do it. Ring Julia on 02380902457
