Eastleigh Community Showcase Brings Together Local Residents Once Again

On September 20th, Community First brought together groups, clubs, charities and organisations from all over the Eastleigh Borough to join together at The Point Theatre & Leigh Road Rec to spread awareness of how they can help people and how people can help them.

The event, funded by Eastleigh Borough Council, saw groups, clubs and charities from all over the borough join together to share their opportunities while there was also entertainment throughout the day from local groups.

The day was officially opened by Community First Chief Exec, Tim Houghton, thanking the exhibitors who were in attendance and wishing them well for the conversations and networking to come as well as introducing the first of the day’s entertainment from local groups.
