Bonfire season

by

Many people are out working in the garden and clearing the garden waste.

Thinking of having a bonfire?

Can you avoid burning, burn cleaner, burn safely?

Bonfires can cause harmful particulate air pollution at home and in your neighbourhood. This negatively impacts the health of your family and community, affecting your heart and lungs.

Avoid burning: Instead of having a bonfire, compost garden waste at home or through council garden waste collections.

Burn cleaner: If you do need to have a bonfire, only burn dry, untreated wood and don’t burn household or wet garden waste.

Burn Safely: Follow fire safety advice, be aware of the impacts of air pollution and consider your neighbours, community and wildlife.

For more information and advice on wood burning, see the Environment Centre (tEC) website: https://environmentcentre.com/wood-burning/ or contact cleanair@environmentcentre.com.

Volunteer Centre Library Outreach Volunteer

Volunteer Centre One Community is looking for outreach volunteers to have a stand once a month for a couple of hours at libraries across the borough of Eastleigh.

You would talk to people about the benefits of volunteering and give information, newsletters and leaflets about volunteering opportunities available in the area.

This would suit someone who would enjoy chatting with people and finding out what kind of volunteering would be right for them, in terms of their interests, their time available, geographical location and what they would hope to get out of their volunteering, e.g. experience for their CV, meeting new people, supporting a cause they feel passionate about, using existing skills or learning new ones.

Mileage expenses reimbursed.

Call out for Local Theatre Makers & Youth workers

by


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,
