Society

If you’ve put volunteering on your New Year resolution list, why not take a look at what’s on offer at your local Branch?

Congratulations to our three First Degree Course Educational Award winners for 2021 – Beckie Earth, Charlie Gutteridge and Christian Kemp. They told us what scooping such a coveted Society award has meant to them.

On 2 November, we visited Guy’s Hospital in London to hand a cheque of £29,000 to the Lupus Trust’s research team. The donation marks the final instalment of a major three-year funding partnership, which totalled £85,000.

The pandemic prevented many of us from being with one another. We were keen to find out if being kept apart brought us closer together, and if the past 18 months has changed how we value our friendships. We asked 2,000 over 60s in the UK to tell us their thoughts.

To mark Friendship Month in the UK, guest presenter Dom Burch talks all things friendship with our CEO, Jane Nelson.

North Gloucestershire Oddfellows has donated more than £16,000 to charities to support the vulnerable during the pandemic.

Nottingham Trent Oddfellows is holding its first ‘Grantham Get-together’ this month, to give the town's residents a taste of what the Oddfellows can offer.

Guest presenter Dom Burch chats with our latest Grand Master and Chairman of the Society, David Ogden, about his new role, his take on the past 18 months, and what he feels makes the Society so special.
