A hospice, which has cared for members and their families, has spoken of its gratitude after receiving a £2,000 donation from the Tunbridge Wells Oddfellows.

Three promising Reading athletes have had funding presented to them by the Mayor of Reading to help boost their sporting careers.

The Oddfellows’ Heart of England Branch, based in Leamington Spa, has donated £5,315.13 to the Marie Curie Hospice, West Midlands, following a year of fundraising activity.

Five senior appointments have recently been made at the Oddfellows, which includes Unity Mutual, our financial services brand.

A £1,800 donation from North Gloucestershire Oddfellows has made it possible for Dora Matthews House, a Extra Care service based in Coleford, within the Forest of Dean, to install a 24-hour publicly accessible defibrillator on its grounds.

In 2022, Oddfellows branches and their members raised over £180,000 to support causes close to their hearts, a figure up on 2021’s already significant total of over £160,000.

While most people’s thoughts turn to romance this Valentine’s Day, the Oddfellows is inviting people to fix up a friendship date instead.

Congratulations to our three First Degree Course Educational Award winners for 2022, Amelia, Ava and Francesca.
