Charity Spotlight - Angels United
Over a number of matchdays this season, Oldham Athletic and Oldham Athletic Community Trust is using power of football beyond the pitch with its Charity Spotlight events. The initiative is designed to celebrate and support local causes and helps bring together fans, the community, and charitable organisations to showcase the incredible work being done across Oldham.
Each spotlight match offers a platform for charities to raise awareness, share their stories, and inspire positive change, highlighting the club’s ongoing commitment to making a difference in the community it proudly represents.
Our next Charity Spotlight on the 11th of October is no different, and the message below is directly from the charity, Angels United.
A message from Angels United
We didn’t choose this journey heartbreak did. But from the darkest moments, something powerful was born: Angels United. Founded by a 13 dads back in 2020 we came together to make a difference and make sure no one else had to walk this path alone. Using the power of football we have built a safe space where grief is understood, memories are honoured, and healing happens through togetherness.
Every Tuesday evening, we run free football-based support sessions. These aren’t about ability, fitness, or competition they’re about connection. Whether you want to play, watch, or just sit with others who understand, you’ll always be welcome. It’s a chance to talk, listen, or simply share space with people who truly get it.
Each October, during Baby Loss Awareness Week, we join families around the world in the Global Wave of Light. On 15th October at 7pm, candles are lit worldwide to remember every baby taken too soon. We invite you to join us: light a candle, take a moment of reflection, and share your photos with us by tagging @angelsunitedfc on Instagram, Facebook, or X. Together, our angels’ lights shine brightly across the globe.
As a charity, we rely on the kindness and generosity of others to keep our work going. Fundraising, donations, and community support mean we can continue to provide free sessions, events, and a lifeline for grieving families. Whether it’s organising a fundraiser, attending a match, or simply spreading the word, every act of support makes a difference.
