Many Communities, One Voice
Many Communities, One Voice
The Osgoldcross Forum is a unique organisation that has developed from a grassroots base of volunteers dedicated to improving their communities. The Forum provides a practical support network for rural and urban parishes and communities. It enables communities to share resources, services and ideas which in turn brings a more diverse creative and dynamic approach to providing services.
The Forum works to improve the quality of life for all communities in the UK, tackling economic, social and environmental issues in an integrated and sustainable way. Our charity is committed to being an open democratic organisation, working in partnership with other bodies, organisations, local authorities and charities.
The Forum is intent on relieving isolation, improving social cohesion, building capacity and enabling all people to contribute towards having a healthier and more prosperous and sustainable life.

Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you.

"The team at Osgoldcross Forum
I just wanted to officially write to you to express my thanks for all you have done for the England Lane Academy. This term has been a busy one, with many challenges. However, some of our successes have been the events where Osgoldcross Forum have been very heavily involved. Put simply, the events during the autumn term would not have been anywhere near as good if we’d done them on our own. We are grateful for your time, expertise and experience in helping make England Lane a better place for our pupils. On behalf of the pupils, staff and parents, thank you. We look forward to working with you in 2019."
- Mr Irving, Executive Principal, Delta Academies Trust
"Staff are very polite and are very good with the kids. It has improved a lot over the past few years and is a lot more reliable and consistent than in the past"
- Marcos
"Luke goes to Hensall youth club and absolutely loves it. He gets to spend time with his friends and has also been chosen to be one of the youth club reps. This involves him setting up and tidying away, before and after youth club. He also attends various meetings and different events, they like to get the children involved and ask them for their input for any improvements. I would highly recommend them, as it is a place children can go and spend time with their friends in a safe friendly environment"
