After Jummah prayer today at Oldham Central Masjid, the Manchester Genes & Health team were on site speaking to worshippers and inviting people to take part in an important health research study.

The study looks at the health of people from British Bangladeshi and British Pakistani backgrounds, with the aim of understanding why some health conditions are more common in these communities.

Those who wanted to take part were able to provide a small saliva sample for research purposes, as well as find out more about how the study works and what the information will be used for.

It was great to see so many people getting involved after prayers and supporting research that could help improve health in our communities in the future. ❤️

A massive well done to all the volunteers from Oldham Central Masjid and Good Deed Circles who joined forces for a street clean across Westwood and Coldhurst. 👏❤️

The team gave up their own time to tackle litter and fly-tipping across the area, and unfortunately came across large amounts of dumped waste, including a concerning number of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, canisters.

Rather than just walking past it, they got stuck in and did something about it.

The volunteers are now committed to carrying out regular clean-ups to help keep the area looking better, but they’ve also made it clear that this needs to be a community effort. Keeping our streets clean cannot fall on the same small group of people every time.

If we live here, work here or use these streets every day, we all have a part to play. That means taking pride in the area, disposing of rubbish properly and supporting the people who are already putting the work in.

A brilliant example of two local groups coming together for the good of the wider community.

Well done to everyone involved. Let’s get behind their mission and help keep Westwood and Coldhurst clean. 🙌

College, sixth form, apprenticeships, work or something completely different, keep working hard and make the most of every opportunity.

A huge congratulations to Ayaaz Rahman from The Radclyffe School on an incredible set of GCSE results! 🎉👏

Ayaaz achieved two grade 9s, a grade 8 and five grade 7s, including top grades in English Literature and Religious Studies.

It’s amazing to see how far our community continues to go in education, with more and more young people working hard, aiming high and making their families proud.

A brilliant achievement, Ayaaz. Wishing you every success with whatever comes next! 🎓❤️

There’s no doubt about it. Our streets need a good clean. But no matter the weather or conditions, the team at Good Deed Circles are always out and about, giving up their own time to transform areas across the borough. 🌳

These guys are on a mission to promote cleaner and greener streets across the whole of Oldham, not just in their own neighbourhoods. They’re going from area to area, putting the work in and showing what can be achieved when people come together and take pride in where they live.

We caught up with volunteer and local businessman Yahya Qureshi, who regularly gives up his spare time to get out there and help the Good Deed Circles team. He had some pretty wholesome words for residents about why they do what they do and the difference they hope to make.

It’s clear that organisations like Good Deed Circles are becoming a driving force in our town, encouraging people to look after their neighbourhoods and helping create cleaner, greener spaces for everyone.

From everyone at Oldham, thank you so much for everything you do. ❤️

And if you see these guys passing through your part of town, be sure to stop and say hello!

Lovely to see the new Tommyfield Park taking shape in the heart of our town centre. 🌳

It’s going to be a great addition to Oldham, bringing more green space into the town centre and creating a new place for people to meet, relax and enjoy.

The name is also a fitting tribute to Tommyfield Market, which has been part of Oldham for generations and has recently moved into its new home in the nearby indoor market.

The transformation is already looking really promising, and we can’t wait to see the next phase take shape.

And here’s one for those who remember Oldham from years gone by… who remembers when the old swimming baths once stood on this site? 🏊

Rare solar eclipse to be visible across Oldham next week. 🌙

A spectacular partial solar eclipse will be visible across Oldham on Wednesday 12 August, giving residents the chance to witness one of the UK’s most impressive astronomical events in decades.

At its peak, around 90% of the Sun will be covered by the Moon, making it the deepest eclipse visible from the UK since 1999. It will also be the largest eclipse seen from the UK until 2050, making it a rare opportunity for residents to experience this natural phenomenon.

The eclipse is expected to begin at around 6.13pm, reach its maximum at approximately 7.10pm, and finish shortly after 8.00pm. Anyone hoping to watch should choose a location with a clear view towards the western horizon.

Residents are reminded never to look directly at the Sun without certified solar eclipse glasses or suitable solar viewing equipment. Ordinary sunglasses do not provide enough protection and can cause permanent eye damage.

Whether you’re an astronomy enthusiast or simply curious, this is a great opportunity to step outside and experience a rare event that won’t be matched in the UK for many years to come.

We’ve seen a number of reports over the last few nights about fireworks being let off well after midnight, with many residents saying they’re coming from wedding celebrations. Let’s take some accountability for this. They’re coming from weddings within our own community. Weddings are a time of joy, celebration and bringing families together, but that shouldn’t come at the expense of everyone else’s night.By law, fireworks cannot be set off between 11pm and 7am, except on Bonfire Night, New Year’s Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year, when later cut-off times apply. Please be respectful of your neighbours and keep fireworks to a sensible time.And finally, please clean up after yourselves. Every year we see empty firework boxes and rubbish left behind in our parks, streets and public spaces. If you’re celebrating, take the packaging home with you and dispose of it properly.We all want people to enjoy their special day. Let’s celebrate responsibly, show consideration for one another and keep Oldham clean for everyone.
