It s been a devastating 10 months for many in Oldham thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, but the Mahdlo Youth Zone and its supporters have remained on the front line, helping the borough’s young people and their families.
Saddleworth residents and local businesses rallied together at the end of 2020 to support various Mahdlo initiatives, including the October half term Holiday Hunger campaign, and in December the Shop and Drop at Saddleworth Rangers where donations of food, hygiene supplies and toys and games were collected.
