  1. Dear all.

     

    There are some charity events going on this March, that have links to OAFC

     

    Right now (Fri 15th) Latics fan Andy Swain is aiming to complete the 3 Yorkshire peak challenge. He is raising finds for little Tommy and his family who were at BP recently. Andy has a go fund me page and has raised over £1k so far.

    Edit: Andy completed the challenge in just over 10hrs. Unfortunatley, the hubby survived...damn and blast

     

    OAFC MOD veteran Garry Brown in completing his own challenge during March, by completing a 10 mile run during the month and raising for PTSD

     

    Lastly and no Stranger to BP. Liverpool fan Mike Wilson and buisiness partner have arranged "March of the day" walk, in aid of Ex pro-footballers Stephen Darby/Rimmer foundation and MND awareness. They will set off from Bradford city on Frid 22nd March and various teams of walkers visiting 17 grounds, finishing at Anfield. Our very own club again have stepped up will be opening its doors late on the evening of Friday 22nd. (Thanks OAFC and OACT). Various ex-pro-footballers and Kevin Seinfield are joining the walkers at various stages in route. They are not shy of £70k so far

     

    Thanks everyone

     

  2. OAFC veterans launch Easyfundraising online shopping app.

     

    Over 3,000 retailers online. From food, insurance, holidays, hotels etc. Even florists, so if you have kicked the proverbial dog after the latest latics result and need to send some flowers...well.

     

    You just use the app, select OAFC veterans group as your nominated cause and then when you use the app to shop online, the retailer pays a contribution for you.

     

    Funds raised will help go towards funding initiatives for ALL ages in our communities.

    well done Underdog

    Defo not all me. Honest.....I just knitted some poppies and provide admin support.  Adjutant/secretary/photographer for the team Vets. We all took some photos of the day and they will go out on The veterans FB/twitter pages, we are compiling them, and rolling them out so you might want to look out for them

     

    Today was defo a partnership. lots of planning by OAFC, OACT, RBL, SSAFA, OAFC veterans and Athleticos.

     

     

  5. Did you know that there are almost 6,000 veterans living in Oldham and of that amount, nearly 2000 are registered as disabled.

     

    There has been some postive press reactions and outcomes for all parties who work with and volunteer for this group.

     

    As we lead upto remembrance weekend, there has been a BP blog done and today, a press article on how this group came to be and the importance of remembrance

     

    You don't have to have served/serving to support the work they are doing with both OACT and OAFC in the community. Just like and give us a follow or come on over and say hello in the fans bar pre match days....yes we do prop up the end of the bar too haha

     

    thanks everyone for your support
