“The coronavirus pandemic has forced so much change on all our lives. And while we are travelling through these tough and testing times together, our experiences are incredibly unique.” A message from Jane Nelson, Oddfellows CEO.

Motor technician, Max, and business travel consultant, Lucia, share their excitement as they're awarded a special Society grant to help them embark on the next step in their careers.

A nationwide appeal to raise critical funds for The Silver Line and the National Emergencies Trust has resulted in a donation of £19,210, which has now been sent to help some of those hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic.

The Oddfellows is now a member of the National Council of Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), the body that champions the voluntary sector and volunteering in the UK.

As the UK marks National Volunteers’ Week on 1-7 June, the Oddfellows would like to say thank you to, and formally recognise, all the people who have selflessly stepped forward to help those in need in ways we’ve never seen before.

The Australian bushfires of 2019/20 left no less than 33 dead and destroyed more than 11 million hectares of bush, forest and parkland. This month, as the result of a Society-wide appeal, £7,600 has been sent to help those directly affected by the crisis.

David Randall would like to extend his best wishes and thanks during this time of uncertainly.

Barbara, whose retirement came earlier than planned, says the support of her local Oddfellows group makes every day feel like a holiday.
