Movember 2024 at OAL in aid of the Northamptonshire Charity Stroke Team Charity

This Movember, our team supported the Northamptonshire Healthy Charity by growing moustaches and raising awareness for their vital work.

Together, we raised a fantastic £2,820.00 to help support the Community Stroke Team with their amazing work!

This campaign has been about more than just questionable moustaches – it’s been about making a real difference. Every penny donated goes towards vital projects helping people and their families work through illness and the road to recovery.

Andy’s Story

Support for Stroke survivors is a cause very close to our hearts.

Last year, our colleague Andy, a popular presence in the office, suffered a stroke. Thanks to the exceptional support from medical services, especially the Community Stroke Team, Andy was able to achieve his primary goal of returning to OAL, a journey that has inspired us all.

This year, we rallied together to support the Community Stroke Team at the Northampton Health Charity and the invaluable work they do.

Every generous donation went towards helping people and their families work through illness and the road to recovery.

“I'm very proud of our team for taking on Movember to raise money for the Stroke Team!” enthused OAL Managing Director, Jake Norman. “If you've been lucky enough to work with Andy Sillence, you'll know he is Mr Sunshine Yellow. Following a stroke last year, we've been astounded by the grit and determination he has shown to return to work and we're thrilled to have him back! It was an obvious choice for us to raise money and awareness for the charity that supported him this Movember.”
