UPDATE Monday 20th April: We have just hit £10,000 which was DOUBLE our original target. We have also had over £50,000 worth of products donated by Oldham based businesses. The hospital in Oldham continue to ask for specific items and we will continue to spend the donations on these requests, so we know that our hospital is getting at least some of the items they need the most. Every penny raised by the people of Oldham will be spent supplying the staff in Oldham Hospital - thank you!

Saddleworth Round Table has over 50 years experience in raising money for worthy causes across Oldham and Saddleworth. In these extraordinary times, we would like to reach out to everyone in Oldham to help us support our NHS heroes at Oldham hospital.

We have spoken with a number of contacts at the hospital, specifially in ICU and theatres. Staff are working very long shifts in very difficult conditions. They are finding it hard to eat, sleep and generally keep themselves going.

We have been asked if we can supply a few basics, which will make a massive difference - toiletries, snacks to grab on the go, phone chargers, energy drinks to name a few.

No matter how big or small your donation, please be generous. Everyone in Oldham may be in need of our doctors and nurses in the next few weeks. Just £1 may buy the mars bar or piece of fruit that keeps that nurse going when its your turn to visit.

Regular updates on our donations will be available on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/SaddleworthRT/

Thank you from all at Saddleworth Round Table
