Charity Spotlight ... Oldham Athletic Community Trust
Oldham Athletic Community Trust (OACT) will proudly take centre stage as the official Charity Spotlight for Oldham Athletic’s home fixture on Saturday, 22nd November when Latics host Newport.
OACT is the offical charity of Oldham Athletic, putting the football club at the heart of the community with the vision to achieve A 'Better Oldham'.
As part of the Charity Spotlight, supporters attending the game will have the chance to donate to the charity via our supported giving link which can be found around the ground or by clicking HERE
Supporters will also see OACT’s presence throughout the day, including features in the matchday programme and during the players warm-up as players will wear OACT branded t-shirts. The spotlight aims to celebrate the OACT, our impact and our relationship to the club while encouraging fans to show their support, whether through volunteering, fundraising, or simply spreading the word.
Toy Appeal
The now-annual Oldham Athletic Christmas Toy Appeal will be back for a fifth year in a row.
Donations for the toy appeal can be made by Oldham Athletic supporters and community members from Tuesday 11th November, with the final collection date being on Tuesday 9th December when Latics host Walsall.
Building on the success of previous seasons there will now be TWO donation points at Boundary Park, these being located within the Athletic Store (Monday - Closed, Tuesday - Saturday: 9.30am -4pm, Sunday: 11am -4pm, Tuesday Matchday: 12pm-8pm & Saturday Matchday: 9.30am-5.30pm) and Glo Gym (Monday - Friday 5am - 10pm, Saturday - Sunday 7am - 9pm)
For this year supporters are able to claim a 25% discount on selected items within the Athletic Store if they are being donated directly to the toy appeal.
We do ask that all gifts be brand-new, unfortunately we won't be able to accept any used goods. In addition an emphasis is being placed on gifts for teenagers, with a growing of presents needed within this age category.
As in previous years, the 2025 toy appeal will be partnering with Oldham Council and will form part of a wider borough collaboration to ensure that those families within the borough receive the support needed this Christmas.
Martin Vose, OACT Head of Community, commented: "I want to thank everyone at the football club for their support in launching this years Christmas Toy appeal, which over the past seasons has helped thousands of children within the borough of Oldham.
"For this year we have added a second donation point here at Boundary Park due to the support received in previous seasons, however we are looking to make the appeal even more accessible by having additional donation points across the borough.
"If you are a local business and can support with this please that would help us to support even more local families."
