The August Bank Holiday is just around the corner and Give as you Live Online is giving The Oulton Institute even more reasons to promote free fundraising to our supporters and followers.

Until 31st August, The Oulton Institute will earn a £1 bonus donation for every new supporter who signs up, on top of the free donations we’ll raise when you shop via Give as you Live Online.

With Bank Holiday bargains, last-minute getaways, and back-to-school shopping in full swing, now’s the perfect time to grow our supporter base and boost our income.

Refreshments will be available throughout the day.

CANCELLATION: - We will make every effort to replace anyone who needs to cancel and thereby offer a refund of the deposit. Cancellations received eight days or less prior to the event will forfeit their deposit.

We look forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely

If your New Year’s Resolution is to volunteer within the local community, why not consider joining our Management Committee?

A small time commitment each month (or week if you have the time) to help open / close our doors for hirers, and attend our monthly Management Committee meetings that discuss topics such as future restoration work, room pricing and ongoing maintenance.

Our lovely building is one of the last remaining Community-owned buildings like this in the country. We rely on volunteers to keep this building safe and available for our community, we are not run by the council or any other local organisations. We’re entirely self-funded and welcome any support that people can give - whether that’s a financial donation, or their precious time.

The stonemasonry work that we’re undertaking now will preserve our building for another 100 years, ensuring the Oulton Institute remains at the heart of our community, for the people of our community.

Some keys were found yesterday near one of our entrances - if they’re yours, or you recognise this Peter Rabbit, please pop us a message. Many thanks! The Management Committee

Our poppy tin has been collected and counted. There was just over £128 - we have never had over £100 before so it’s our best ever.

Thank you to everyone that donated
