The 1000 Club

Building better futures for Oldham, together

The 1000 Club is a growing community of individuals and businesses who believe in one simple idea: when we invest locally, everyone benefits.
By supporting the ORLFC Foundation, members of the 1000 Club help fund education, health and community programmes that create opportunity, strengthen communities and improve lives across Oldham and Greater Manchester.

The idea

A shared commitment to local impact

The 1000 Club is an initiative to bring together 1,000 like-minded supporters who want to see meaningful, long-term change in Oldham.
Each member contributes either monthly or annually, creating a stable, sustainable funding base that allows the Foundation to plan, deliver and grow programmes that respond to real local need.
This is not about short-term donations. It’s about consistent investment and measurable outcomes.
Our ambition

£1 million a year for Oldham’s future

Our ambition is clear. By uniting 1,000 members, the 1000 Club aims to raise £1 million every year to directly support the charitable work of the ORLFC Foundation.
This funding helps us to:
Improve health and wellbeing through physical activity
Create pathways into sport, education and employment
Reduce anti-social behaviour through positive engagement
Strengthen community pride and connection
Deliver clear, demonstrable social value year after year
Your role

A small commitment, a collective impact

By investing just £85 per month, around £2.74 a day, you become part of something genuinely transformational.
Whether you’re an individual who cares about Oldham or a business looking to make a meaningful contribution to social value, your support helps create opportunities for young people and stronger communities for everyone.
This is local investment, with local impact.
