Alzheimer’s Society research found that dementia is one of the most feared and misunderstood health conditions. Often, the implications of living with dementia are either overestimated or underestimated and assumptions are made that it is not possible to live independently with the condition.

Representatives from national friendly society, the Oddfellows, visited Bradford’s Plastic Surgery and Burns Research Unit (PSBRU) at the University of Bradford on Monday 17 Sept for a lab tour and to present a cheque for £29,000.

For more than 15 years, Ormskirk and Southport Oddfellows have been supporting Southport’s coastline heroes – Southport Offshore Rescue Trust – with charitable donations.

Members and friends of Buckingham-based Grenville Branch of the Oddfellows came together at Buckingham Old Gaol on 28 June to enjoy a private viewing of an exhibition created in its honour.

Twerking, snowboarding and where to get good tattoos! Oddfellows research into the relationship between under 25s and over 55s shows that though they might be generations apart, Britain’s young and old love spending time together and like nothing better than to share advice and swap skills.

The Oddfellows' insurance business is now rebranded under, ‘Unity Mutual’, and offers simple savings, investments and protection products to help families plan for the future.

Members from across the country have raised an incredible £10,000 for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund to continue to support victims of the tragic bombing at Manchester Arena.

The Oddfellows has awarded researchers at The University of Bradford a grant of £88,000 over three years to unlock the mystery of how hair follicles can help chronic burns victims in their recovery.
