The Attleborough Oak Football Club has always endeavoured to support and raise money for local Charities. In the last couple of years two Charity Football Matches have been played. On both occasions the Attleborough Oak FC has played the Royal Oak Public House. The Pub teams have been a mixture of retired professional footballers, such as legends like Dave Bennett, Cyril Regis, Micky Gynn and Kirk Stephens along with staff and locals form the Royal Oak.
In the season of 2005 / 06, the Oak raise £1,500 for the local Charity D. I. A. L. The following year, 2006 / 07 season, again saw the Oak raise £1,500, this time for the Gemma Louise Newman Memorial Fund.
Details on both organisations are listed below.
Attleborough Oak would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who participated in these events. Special thanks, however, must go to Nuneaton Borough FC and the Attleborough Community for their hard work and constant support.
The D.I.A.L organisation in Nuneaton, Bedworth and surrounding area is staffed by trained information and advice workers. It has been providing disabled people with help and support on every aspect of disability for almost twenty years.
Most D.I.A.L staff are themselves disabled. Not surprisingly, therefore, as an organisation we are very conscious of the importance of equal opportunities. Hence, our services are readily accessible to both disabled and non-disabled people, wheelchair users, those with learning difficulties, the hard of hearing, the deaf, the visually impaired, the blind, the house bound and members of ethnic minorities.
As well as offering support and advice to private individuals, D.I.A.L also provides information to workers and volunteers in the Statutory and Voluntary sectors.
D.I.A.L provides a wheelchair hire service for the residents of Nuneaton, Bedworth and North Warwickshire. The hire is £1 a day with a minimum payment of £5. there is also a £20 returnable deposit. There is a maximum weight limit of 15 stone for users.
