Yes all football clubs have either Community Trusts or Foundations, they are now what the old football in the community set-ups were. Each foundation/community trust is in itself it`s own organisation, they pay there staff out of their accounts through the various different funding streams they recieve. Some income streams are self generating (such as our schools programme and holiday clubs) and some are externally funded (such as our Kicks project which is ran by the Premier League with funding recieved through them aswell as from other sources). The aim of each Community Trust is different, you can find out more about the work we do and our aims by visiting: http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/club/communitytrust/ If you have anyother questions please drop our community manager a line at martin.vose@oldhamathletic.co.uk.

There isn`t any funding at all from the FA, the project is only being made possible due to the support of the football club itself. They are really supportive of the community work we do and this is just another example of the work they do behind the scenes to benefit the local community.

Hi All, Please find below a couple of recent news stories with regards to the Community Trust and some of the activities we currently do. In addition keep an eye out in the match day programme for the CT page, on which all the latest community news is put. We`re always keen to work with as many people as possible over a varied range of projects in different parts of the Borough. If you ever want to get in touch with us at the Trust then please email martin.vose@oldhamathletic.co.uk - any ideas or suggestions you may have are always welcome!

Hi All, Last night was our 3rd over 50`s football session and we had a fantastic turnout even with the lousy weather! Thank you to all that attended. It`s going to be on every week and we really need your support to make sure it`s a sustainable project. If your interested, please see the link below: http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/20130829-fifties-1021266.aspx In addition if you were there last night what did you think of the session? Did you enjoy it? Can we alter it at all? We`re always keen to hear your feedback and suggestions on how we can move forward and work with a variety of people throughout the borough.

We`ve had some great feedback from the Team Of The Week. We`ve also took on board the feedback from here to and will look to change/rotate where we use for the half-time games. This season we hope to play infront of the main stand/chaddy end to give more fans a chance to watch the half-time game.
