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,

RADICAL RAFI, shopping help!

by

Here is one of our superb CV response volunteers our shopping for vulnerable people who have to self-isolate.

Raphaelle Vingre is really enjoying doing this role.

Here are some comments we have had from the people we have helped:

I’m so grateful for all the One Community volunteers, they’re kind, friendly and do a great job. I feel supported.

Having shopping delivered means I can stop worrying about trying to eek out my supplies until my son can get to the shops. He works shifts so it’s been very difficult. We are so glad of this wonderful service. Plus they [the volunteers] are cheerful and smile and wave. That means a lot to me.

My neighbour lives alone and I was concerned about her not getting her medication, so I rang One Community. They took it all in hand and deliver her medications every week. I was so relieved.

If you need medications or shopping delivered as you are vulnerable and self isolating ring us on 023 8090 2400 or email vss@1community.org.uk

If you know anyone in need by all means call us and we can try to help. We work in Eastleigh and Fareham areas in Hampshire.
