OCL offers free memberships to pandemic volunteers

Oldham Community Leisure (OCL) is offering a full month’s complimentary health and fitness membership to recognise the efforts of volunteers in Oldham during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

A huge number of local volunteers and volunteer groups have been supporting the community in numerous ways. OCL is keen to offer recognition for their work and say thank you on behalf of Oldhamers.

“The work going on in the local community has been nothing short of incredible. The mobilisation and continued running of a foodbank and engagement with isolated individuals are just two of the much-needed services that have been delivered by volunteers throughout Oldham,” said Simon Blair, Head of Business Development at OCL.

The month-long complimentary membership is available for all volunteers and includes unlimited use of all five Oldham Community Leisure centres including the gyms, pools and exercise classes as well as full use of badminton and bowls. Volunteers will also get eight-day advanced priority online booking.

The offer is available until November 30th 2020.
