Hampshire History Trust is a charity which was formed in 2020

growing out of the very successful Winchester Heritage Open Days

activity. The aim of the charity is to bring Hampshire history to life,

and to the lives of Hampshire people. We aim to provide great

experiences of Hampshire History; to share and promote a love of

the history and heritage of the county for the enjoyment and benefit

of the community and visitors alike.

 

 

St John’s Winchester is dedicated to supporting older people to

live well in Winchester. We focus our efforts on helping the most

vulnerable in the community, establishing our Hand in Hand

befriending and signposting programme, and more recently the

Dementia Support service. Our almshouses provide affordable

accommodation for older people facing financial challenges often

combined with social, emotional or health needs, enabling them to

maintain their independence.

Sea Cadets is a voluntary run organisation that offers fantastic opportunities for young people within the local community. It is affiliated with the Royal Navy and instils key qualities of leadership skills, team work and discipline.

We offer so much at our weekly meetings , boating in the summer and in the winter we teach Seamanship, first aid and catering.
