Given the context of this thread it's good to see this kind of work still being done, albeit by OACT. https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2019/august/14082019-community-trust/

I will be there tomorrow, I've paid for it so might aswell however Iwon't be renewing, a couple of friends are still undecided. Unless things change in the coming months I intend to donate some of the money that I would have spent on a ST with a donation to the Community Trust to help their ongoing work.

Instead of posting on a messageboard why not ring OACT up and discuss with them? A quick search gives their number as 0161 785 5176. As OACT and OAFC are different companies the problem might lie there.

Fair play, a decent idea! The club and community trust are getting quite abit right recently in terms of community engagement. https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2018/july/30072018-sensory-packs/

They do alot more than just going into schools - their kicks project for example. I know that from this project they have taken on several asain coaches. Drop their community manager an email - martin.vose@oldhamathletic.co.uk. I'm sure he'd welcome any ideas.

To be fair this is going on today: http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/last-chance-to-book-on-to-grassroots-day-against-crewe-alexandra-3060081.aspx

Not a bad idea ... http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/oldham-athletic-community-trusts-grassroots-day-2946920.aspx

Just another example of the good work being done by the community team at the club lately!

I notice on their social media that they have given out 100 children tickets at their holiday club? A decent idea, hopefully taken up by a few. I suppose this would again come under the community section. In the programme there was a small photograph from their Kicks project which involved a team of young asian lads.

Am i right in thinking there aren`t really any local pubs to the ground? Any recomendations?

http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/-2135008.aspx It`s a start.

Has anyone seen the below youtube video from today? It`s some of the children from the OACT holiday club inside the ground, hopefully it`ll help to create a couple of new fans. youtu.be/XLOJr-jCdXs

Has anyone been reading the articles on the clubs website? Whilst not in great detail some of the stuff included i had no idea about. http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/20140324-community-trust-1440159.aspx http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/20140325-community-trust-1442819.aspx

Absolutely no relation.
