Society

True friendship is a real safety net during difficult times. Pauline Jones, a member of Birmingham Oddfellows, couldn't agree more.

Despite COVID restrictions being in place, Isle of Wight Oddfellows member, Monica Duncan, has ‘zoomed’ across the UK, socialising with other Oddfellows members nationwide, and even made a new friend on her own doorstep.

Not even a worldwide pandemic could stop the Oddfellows' Friendship Month celebrations. Through a mix of online and face-to-face public events, our Branches truly showed the world how we can continue to connect, no matter what life throws our way.

Baston resident, and member of Nene and Welland Oddfellows, Barry Bedford has been singled out by the Society's Fraternal Board as an inspirational team worker and shining example to other members.

Hartlepool resident and Cleveland and Durham Branch member, Margaret Wells has been singled out by the Society's Fraternal Board as a social mover and shaker and shining example to others.

Alton resident and member of Concord Oddfellows, Bruce Nicole has been recognised by the Society's Fraternal Board, for going above and beyond in his caring for others.

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.
