One Community

New donations system for One Community.

by

Hello everyone.

We have a new and (we think!) easy to use donations system. We are in the process of changing all our donate buttons over to the new system but the links on the donations page are up and running. The new system is via CAF as VirginGiving ceased to offer donation support for charitable organisations at the close of 2021.

To save you following the link, here we are with the system form:

and the donate button.

You can choose how much to donate, when you give and how you give and what sorts of things your money supports in terms of projects within One Community.

If your organisation is a member of One Community and needs to change their donation platform, please reach out to us and we can support you with exploring your options and setting up a new provider.

Young Carers Sponsored Walk

by

On the 8th of August our team and young people are going on a sponsored walk down the Itchen Navigation to raise money for young carers.

It’s been a difficult couple of years for us all, and it’s been especially tough for our Young Carers. Many young carershave experienced an increase in their role as carers, whilst opportunities for respite away from their roles have dwindled. 

On the 6th August, a group of young carers, staff and volunteers will be walking 11 miles of the Itchen navigation in an effort to raise much needed funds to help young carers navigate their caring roles post-covid.

Could you sponsor us? 

You can donate £2, £5, £10 or an amount of your choice. All would be much appreciated by our young carers and would help to boost morale.

Here is the link to donate via virgin money (it’s very easy to do!) or you can pop a cheque made payable to Young Carers and post it into One Community, 75 Leigh Road, Eastleigh SO50 9DQ or cash clearly labelled in an envelope.

All funds raised will contribute to outdoor activities and equipment for our young people to have respite and be nurtured.

Let’s show our young carers that their community sees them!

Chameleon Theatre Company Gives Donation to One Community.

by

We are very grateful to the Chandlers Ford Chameleon Theatre Company, based at Ritchie Hall, who have donated the proceeds of their raffles this year, £1,042, to the One Community mini bus fund. Pictured above are Chair of One Community Adrian Hughes and Roger Hester of the Chameleons.

Adrian said: “The work of One Community in providing services to combat loneliness and isolation is vital. We are grateful to the Chameleon Theatre in Chandlers Ford for the donation. The gift will be added to our mini bus replacement fund allowing us to continue to provide a vital service.”

YOUNG CARERS UPDATE!

by

We can hardly believe it either but WOW our very own ‘walking dead’ walkers have raised over a £1000!

Just such an amazing physical achievement and such a great Young Carers project to support.

Please see the poster below for all the details.

Feeling inspired?

Sponsored walking might not be your thing but perhaps you might like to try a pudding night at your WI or men’s group, perhaps a Zumba challenge at the gym or a sponsored tech famine at youth group? Short on ideas? We have lots!

Just email Jean at jroberts-jones@1community.org.uk 023 8090 2400

You can make a donation really easily to One Community. Including on line, in person or via text.

Please help our raffle.

We have a quiz and supper night at the Eastleigh Railway Institute on Friday the 31st of May. It is being run by Eastleigh Lions and the aim is to help raise money for much needed new One Community bus.

These buses help vulnerable, disabled and older people to access services and the community. These buses provide a door to door service for people. The drivers and assistants make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. They give a cheery “Hello” and help the person on and off as needed. It is a great thing for people who are perhaps lonely as the regular passengers form a community of itself and have a chat on the bus. Honestly, it is a wonderful thing to support.

At this event we will be having a raffle and we need four more prizes. Ideally we would like some services or lovely things to give away as prizes.

If you have a service or an item you would like to give to us, please call 023 8090 2400 or email info@1community.org.uk.

Thank you!
