Representatives from the Oddfellows visited the Centre for Cancer Immunology to present the first installment of funding from the Society's HA Andrews Memorial Fund and discover how it will support developments in cancer research.

Severn and Trent Oddfellows, based in Newport, has presented two local charities with £1,000 each to help them continue supporting the community.

Highflyer Jonathan who travelled the country with his work has praised his local Oddfellows group for keeping him challenged and supported in retirement.

A couple from Ipswich say the Oddfellows helped fill unexpected gaps in their retirement. Now busy members of their local Branch, Kevin and Teresa are keen to share how they're making the most out of their free time.

Join us as we look back over an incredible month of meeting up and making new friends across the UK.

On the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, CEO of the Oddfellows, Jane Nelson, said:

This Friendship Month, we’re calling on the nation to keep socialising, amid concerns about the impact any reduced social contact could have on people’s mental health and wellbeing.

Busy Oddfellow, Vera, is urging older adults to make friendship a priority in their lives and to keep socialising.
