Donate your old mobile
In conjunction with FoneAid, Solent Youth Action is collecting and recycling old mobile phones.
Not only is this good for the environment it is good for our volunteers. For each handset, Solent Youth Action will receive £3.00.
This money will go towards helping us to continue to support all the fantastic volunteers we work with across South Hampshire.
Raising money for The Blue Cross Shelter
A group of volunteers from Chamberlayne College for the Arts have been fundraising over the last few months to raise money for The Blue Cross.
They have run "guess the name of the tigers" and "guess the name of the dog" for younger children who won the large soft toys if they guess the correct name.
The volunteers also took part in a sponsored dog walk.
Overall, £89.20 was raised and the volunteers had a tour around The Blue Cross shelter when they donated this money.
Learning First Aid
On Wednesday 22nd April, seven Take Action volunteers took part in a First Aid course at Woodlands Community College that covered all aspects of basic First Aid.
