Oakham Town Council Celebrates 50 Years with Birthday Bash and Fundraiser for The Rutland Community First Responders, all invited.

Oakham Town Council Celebrates 50 Years with Birthday Bash and Fundraiser

Oakham residents are invited to join the Oakham Town Council (OTC) in a grand celebration marking its 50th anniversary!

This special event, taking place on March 30th, 2024, at Oakham's Victoria Hall, will not only commemorate the council's golden jubilee but also serve as a fundraiser for the Rutland Community First Responders, chosen as the Mayor's charity for 2024.

The Rutland Community First Responders are a dedicated team of volunteers who play a vital role in the community. These everyday heroes provide crucial support in emergency situations, utilising their training in Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and various life-saving procedures. In January alone, they contributed a staggering 882 hours to service, training, and support, attending to a wide range of emergencies, including strokes, cardiac issues, and sadly, even end-of-life care.

Their invaluable contributions are entirely unpaid and rely solely on local fundraising efforts. The Oakham Town Council's birthday celebration aims to raise vital funds for the First Responders, ensuring they can continue their life-saving service in the community.

Join the celebration! Tickets for the event are priced at £15 and include:

Live music from a local saxophonist

A performance by the band "Hogwash," featuring classic tunes from the 1980s - the era of the OTC's founding

A delicious light supper

Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate Oakham Town Council's milestone, support a worthy cause, and enjoy an evening of entertainment alongside your community.

Let's come together and celebrate 50 years of service and commitment to the Oakham community while supporting the incredible work of the Rutland Community First Responders!
