From Little Acorns, Big Oak Trees Grow

by | Nov 20, 2024 | News

It is often said that from the smallest acorns, the mightiest oak trees grow. At OLLY, this saying has special meaning. Just as an acorn requires time, care, and dedication to become a strong oak tree, our charity has grown from humble beginnings into a source of strength and support for children who need it most.

The Journey of OLLY

OLLY was born out of love, care, and a deep commitment to making a difference for children who have faced loss and hardship. In the face of adversity, OLLY has blossomed into a strong and resilient organisation—a true oak tree in our community. This growth has been made possible by the unwavering dedication of our incredible volunteers, who have given their time, love, and loyalty to nurture our mission.

Gratitude to Those Who Make It Possible

We are endlessly grateful for the support of our volunteers and sponsors. From organising events to wrapping gifts, their efforts touch every part of OLLY’s work. They remind us that even small acts of kindness can have a huge impact on the lives of children.

To every volunteer who has given their time, and to every sponsor who has provided resources, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are the roots that keep our oak tree strong.

Reflecting on 2024

As the year comes to a close, we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished but know there’s still much to do before the year ends. Our final events of 2024 are fast approaching:

🎄 Gulliver’s World Christmas Spectacular: A magical day out for the children we support, filled with joy and festive fun.
🎅 OLLY’s Santa Drop: Ensuring every child we work with experiences the magic of Christmas, no matter their circumstances.

These events embody the heart of OLLY—bringing love, hope, and joy to children in need.

Looking Ahead to 2025

While we reflect on how far we’ve come, we’re already looking forward to the year ahead. 2025 brings new opportunities to grow, support even more children, and continue our mission to make a difference.
