Yesterday afternoon, as part of we dropped in to see Veterans Dementia Support UK at Fryern Pavilion. Great to see how many activities they're putting on across the borough (and beyond) for veterans and other community members affected by dementia - they do need more volunteers though to help them support their growing number of attendees.

See their listings on Volunteer First for more details of the volunteering opportunities available - https://volunteerfirst.co.uk/organisation/500141838/

Activities include:
➡️Thingamajigs Memory Cafe - Tuesdays, 2.30-4pm at Fryern Pavilion
➡️Veterans Afternoon Tea Club - 1st Thurs of the month, 2pm at Dawson Lodge
➡️Whatisnames Memory Cafe - Wednesday afternoons in Eastleigh Town Centre (coming soon)
Plus trips, dementia friendly cinema, dementia friendly remembrance services and much more!

Our Grounds Team have been hard at work once again — this time carrying out end-of-season treatment work on the football pitches at Hiltingbury and Fryern Recreation Grounds. ⚽
The pitches have been top dressed with a specialist blend of topsoil and fertiliser to help improve surface quality, encourage healthy grass growth, and strengthen the playing areas over the summer months.
These essential maintenance works are all part of preparing the grounds to ensure the pitches are in top condition and match-ready for the autumn football season.
A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to keep our recreation grounds looking their best — thank you to the team for all their hard work!

Those eagle-eyed amongst you may have recently noticed a change in signage at Cornwall Road Playground.

We are pleased to now be able to share that Chandler’s Ford Parish Council has successfully completed the asset transfer of the playground from Eastleigh Borough Council. This brings the total number of playgrounds owned and managed by the Parish Council to ten.

Alongside a number of parcels of land throughout Velmore, this transfer has been in planning for some time and was completed earlier this year.

Residents will now begin to see our team working in these areas far more regularly as we continue to invest in and care for these valued community spaces for everyone to enjoy.
