We received £200 from the Oldham Volunteer Celebration Fund to help us with our Air Athletics' Awards Evening. This was a huge help as we were able to put it towards; trophies, medals, room hire, sweet stand, decorative balloons, sharing platter snack boxes, flowers bouquets. The photographer & children’s entertainer/DJ ended up volunteering their time at the event.
We had approximately 120 people in attendance from Shaw, High Crompton, Royton, Chadderton, Springhead, Glodwick, Mossley.
The event really brought everyone together. We had lots of feedback from families about how lovely it is to see how all the young people integrate with one another, regardless of age & how everyone joined in with the entertainment & festivities. It was a real celebration of every member of the club, not only athletes but coaches, board members, volunteers, parents & families. It was a real opportunity to recognise everyone's vital & valued role in the club.
Seeing everyone socialising, dancing, having fun, the smiles on all those faces & peoples reactions, it really was very poignant & heart-warming to see people feeling valued for their participation. Honestly, we can’t actually say anything didn’t go well, it was a brilliant event all round.
