Valentines at Day Activity Services

by

We wanted to share what we have been doing in the day activity centres.

This week we followed a valentines theme and everyone who wanted to made delicious cakes. Everyone liked the icing and chocolate tops!

*Joan (not her real name) said this about our day activity service

I have memory loss and it’s a treasure to meet others & make friends with others that really understand. I get a good lunch and picked from my own front door.

Please ring us on 023 8090 2400 or email info@1community.org.uk to arrange a few day trial (with a small cost for transport and lunch.)

If you would like to volunteer with us to help in our day activity centres, please follow this link.

Volunteer Drivers for Young Carers

by

Our young carers are a fabulous group of kids. Through our young carers project they meet other children living with someone who has difficulties.

We have a busy set of activities like a weekly choir, youth groups and holiday activities.

It would be really wonderful to have you come and drive our young carers to and from their activities. We pay a good mileage rate, all you need is a car and business rate insurances. We will take care of all of your checks so you are good to go!

 

Share your views on Climate Crisis.

by

Share your voice on the climate crisis
Be part of our new short video campaign
Eastleigh Borough Council is creating a short video to explore how local people feel about the climate and environmental emergency.
We also want to find out what changes our residents are making in their own lives to reduce their carbon footprint and support the environment, and how they feel their actions are making a difference, no matter how small. The film will be shared widely with the aim of inspiring others to take whatever action they can to make a difference.
We’re looking for people from all backgrounds, ages, genders, ethnicities and different parts of the Borough, because what happens to our environment affects us all.
Perhaps you work for a local business, school, college or another organisation and would like to share how employees, pupils, students or members feel about the climate crisis and what they are doing to address it. If so, we’d love to hear from you.
If you’d like to take part in this video, please email communications@eastleigh.gov.uk

One Community is very excited to be working in partnership with Flourish and Solent Mind to offer free shop space in Eastleigh’s Swan Centre from the beginning of February.

Local charities, voluntary and community groups can book a one-off slot, perhaps in relation to a particular campaign “day” or “week”, or a regular slot, such as the first Monday of the month, for your organisation to showcase your services, host a meeting or simply attract new members.

The shop is available for bookings from Monday to Thursday.

This offer is open to any voluntary or community organisation, with priority given to members of One Community. Find out more about membership HERE.

You will have facilities to make tea/coffee, and chairs and tables will be available.

           

You will not able to sell any products directly to the public, but you could display a donation pot.

Happy New Year

by

We wish all our; customers, staff, volunteers and the communities of Eastleigh and Fareham we serve, a very happy new year!

Looking back over 2019, we have done so much! Looking back to Shop Mobility collecting their service award from the mayor of Eastleigh, fast forward to moving to our temporary premises at 75 Leigh Road.

We have all worked hard to improve the lot of people in Fareham and Eastleigh through our community project support, volunteering, Eastleigh museum’s and Fareham’s shop outreach and Young Carers groups. Our transport appeal for funding for a new bus is almost at the point of being able to get one on the road and the day activity services are a fun and welcoming place to be.

One Community is changing and in 2020 and we are looking forward to sharing a swan centre shop with local charity Fledge in the spring. We have several new training opportunities too.

Wishing all of you a very happy new year!

From all of us at One Community.

Day Activity Centre Christmas

by

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

Make a Christmas Tree

On Saturday the 14th of December, pop into Eastleigh Museum.

Between ten o’clock and midday you can make a Mini Christmas tree decoration. Bring your children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and your friends kiddies as this is FREE of charge.

Stay with them and have a cuppa while you are waiting. There’s a really good coffee in there- arguably the best in Eastleigh.

You don’t even need to book, just come on in.

Hate Crime Report 2019 LGBQT+

by

At One Community we are committed to improving the opportunities and lives of all of the community. Part of this role is to research, present and make recommendations for improvements to current practice and take these ideas to move forwards in a positive direction.

We have just completed an important piece of research into Hate Crime against LGBQT+ people in the Eastleigh area. This is to examine the current levels of hate crime reported in the borough and consider ways this could be improved.

The report concludes with several recommendations for organisations working in the community.

We would like to thank all those who contributed to this research.

If you would like to read the report online without downloading it- please click HERE.

Santa visits Eastleigh Museum

by

On Saturday the 16th of November, our very own Santa came to Eastleigh Museum.

Here is the wonderful team who really made the day fabulous and the grotto inviting.

We had lots of families, with young and not so young come in to see us. It was a really lovely time of lights, fun and community.

If you would like to be a part of our team of volunteers at Eastleigh Museum or doing a range of different volunteering things, click HERE.
