Society

Each year, three Oddfellows members are selected to receive a coveted Educational Award. The awards are open to applications from members of all ages, as long as they’ve been a member for five years, and are undertaking a degree for the very first time.

North Gloucestershire Oddfellows has donated £1000 to Merton House in Ross-on-Wye to help the hotel, which offers specialist care breaks, get back on its feet after a temporary closure due to the pandemic. This local gesture is on top of a central donation of £5000 from the Oddfellows earlier in the year.

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.
