Latics stars spread plenty of Christmas cheer during Royal Oldham Hospital visit
Oldham Athletic players and staff visited the children's ward at Royal Oldham Hospital to spread festive cheer, handing out gifts to children who will be spending Christmas in hospital. The event was supported by Oldham Athletic Community Trust, NorthCare Charity, and local businesses.
Oldham Athletic players brought Christmas cheer to young patients at Royal Oldham Hospital on Tuesday, delivering gifts and spending time with children who will spend the holidays in hospital.
Manager Micky Mellon joined players Scott Davies, Tom Conlon, Manny Monthe and Josh Lundstram at the children’s ward in the Lucy Pugh Building, where they handed out presents donated by the first team squad, club staff, Oldham Athletic Community Trust and local business Top Tier Plumbing. Club mascot Chaddy the Owl and chief executive Darren Royle also participated in the annual visit, organized in partnership with Oldham Royal Hospital, Oldham Care Organisation and The NorthCare Charity.
“The gifts which have kindly been donated are going to make such a wonderful impact on the children who will be in hospital over the Christmas period,” said Lisa from NorthCare Charity, part of the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust. “Safe to say the club has helped us spread the festive cheer across the Children’s Unit again this year.”
The visit marks the latest community initiative from the League Two club, which regularly supports local healthcare organizations across Greater Manchester through its community trust programs.
