It was wonderful to be at this year’s Mayor’s Ball at The Loom, our recently opened event space in the heart of Oldham town centre, for Mayor of Oldham Cllr Eddie Moores and his wife and Mayoress Kath Moores.
A brilliant night bringing together community groups, local organisations, volunteers, and businesses from across our borough all in one room. That’s our borough at its best.
It was also really nice to see the Oldham Scottish Pipe Band recognised in its centenary year with a Civic Appreciation Award presented by the Mayor of Oldham.
These events aren’t just about a good evening. They’re about backing the Mayor’s charities and recognising the people who quietly get on with making a difference every day. As always, all the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Mayor’s Charity for good local causes.
Oldham runs on that kind of community spirit and I was proud to be there and support it.
