At O’Donnell Solicitors, we’re proud to play an active role in our local community, not just through the legal services we provide, but by getting involved in local events and causes.
This summer is shaping up to be a busy one, with our team taking part in a number of fantastic local events across Uppermill, Saddleworth and Greater Manchester. Here we take a look at a great summer of events in our locality and how our team are getting involved.
Saddleworth Whit Friday Brass Band Contests – 14th June
We were delighted to once again sponsor the Whit Friday Brass Band Contests, one of Saddleworth’s most longstanding traditions. This year’s event took place on Friday 14th June and saw brass bands and visitors from across the country come to our local villages, filling the streets with music and celebration.
At our office in the heart of Uppermill we set up a stall outside with cookies, balloons and goodies for passers by and participants. We’re proud to support an event that means so much to the local area.
Manchester Fives Football Tournament – 17th June
In June, we swapped our suits for sports gear as we joined the Manchester Fives football tournament on Monday, 17th June. The event was a fun and competitive afternoon, with five-a-side games against a number of other businesses from across the North West. We were delighted to come in second place in our draw and raise money for Maggie’s Centre in Oldham along the way.
Macmillan Mighty Hike – 28th June
On Friday, 28th June, members of our team took part in the Yorkshire Dales Mighty Hike Half Marathon, raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
James O’Donnell, Rebecca O’Donnell, Rachael Forrest, Charlotte Sagar, Stacey Ward, Jill Waddington, Kenneth Lees and Alistair Brown all participated in the challenge and have raised nearly £1000 to date. As a cause that affects so many of our team members, families and the wider O’Donnell community, we thought it really important to support Macmillan, a charity that provides essential care and support to people affected by cancer.

Mossley 10K – 20th July
We laced up our running shoes once again for the Mossley 10K on Sunday, 20th July. As a long-time sponsor of the event, this is actually the tenth year we have been the headline sponsors. We’re proud to support this fantastic community run and even prouder of the team members who represented O’Donnell Solicitors on the start line!
Mahdlo Charity Golf Day
Last month also saw James O’Donnell take part in the Mahdlo Golf Day, supporting the work of Mahdlo Youth Zone, a charity that provides opportunities and support for young people in Oldham.
Looking Ahead
Community is at the heart of everything we do at O’Donnell Solicitors. Whether we’re walking, running, playing football or just cheering on from the sidelines, we’re committed to supporting local people and organisations.
