HELP FOR HEROES SI Oldham have been supporting the charity Help for Heroes, firstly by holding a faith supper and then holding a cake bake stall at one of the Thursday Coffee Mornings held at Trinity Methodist Church in Royton. At both events goods were on sale for the chairty, Norma bought the teddy and pinned on his medal. The sum of £450 was raised from the sale of goods and these two events. Later in the year the club are planning to collect shoe boxes for Save our Soldiers and send themto our troops in Afghanistan. |

Support for The Family Crisis Centres The support for the Family Crisis Centre has continued during 2009 and 2010. We have once again hosted Library Road Shows - this time trying to concentrate on material things to help the women from the three Oldham Refuges in the form of essential kitchen items which are needed when setting up a new home. The toiletries have continued to be collected and are so popular that the refuges hold "pamper days" which are enjoyed by all the participants. |
Support for The Family Crisis Centres The Librarian from Uppermill Library one of our main supporters in the Family Crisis project, is pictured with Crisis Centre Manager, Jenny Taylor and members of the Oldham Club, presenting books, toiletries and other household items to the refuge centre Many of the other libraries in the Borough are also supporting our efforts for the Crisis Centre and to date with the help of Royton, Lees and Uppermill libraries we have delivered over 30 bags of useful items to the Refuges, and we are please to have received letters of acknowledgment from the Family Crisis Centre which have been passed on to the libraries involved. |
