We are looking forward to hearing it all come together!

Voting is open! We need your support!

The PTA have submitted a proposal to the Aviva Community Fund to try and secure funding for an All-Weather, Multi-Purpose Pitch on our playing field.  The proposal has just been approved and we could be in with a chance of being granted up to £25,000! 

The next stage in the process is to gather as many votes as possible for our project - the projects with the most votes get through to the finals, where a panel of judges will decide whether our cause is worthy of funding. Voting is open now at https://community-fund.aviva.co.uk/voting/project/view/17-5946 and we are now encouraging you to spread the word to your friends and families to drum up as many votes as possible.  Everyone who registers on the Aviva website gets 10 votes - and you are allowed to use all 10 on the same project - so please take a moment to register and give as many votes as you can to our Banish the Mud campaign!

Please see this short video, created by the PTA as part of the submission, which helps to explain what we're trying to achieve: https://vimeo.com/237459541. 

Many thanks in advance for your votes - every single one really does count to give us any chance of getting to the finals!  We'll keep you updated with our progress.

Harvest Festival

Thank you so much for all the contributions for this year's harvest festival.  We were able to give over 700 items to the City Mission's Basics Bank project, who distribute it to anyone in the city that requires short-term support.

Neighbourhood Advice

We are the Bitterne Park Neighbourhood Policing Team and this is our monthly bulletin providing crime prevention advice and updates on issues within your local area.

Now the darker evenings are drawing in, this often increases the opportunities for homes to be left in darkness during the late afternoon whilst householders are still at work. Don’t make your absence easy for burglars to spot by doing the following:

• Use timer switches, available at most DIY stores, to switch on lights and radios while you are away from the home to make it look occupied. (Keep your bills down by using energy saving bulbs).
• Ensure you shut and lock your doors and windows.
• Only tell the people who you trust if your home will be empty for a period of time.
• Do not leave your personal belongings on display.
• Property mark your belongings with your house number and post code, keep a list of any makes, models and serial numbers. 
• Register your items for free at www.immobilise.com. This service assists us to return your property to the rightful owner in the event it is lost or stolen.
