Help with searching

There are several ways you can find organisations, events and services on the Our Oldham Service Directory.

Quick and easy - Simple searches

On most pages you will find a search box - simply type in one or more keywords and click Search.

Alternatively, to list all the organisations, events and services in an area, type in the postcode in the postcode box and click Search. You do not have to enter the whole postcode – for example, you could enter OL4.

If these searches bring up too many results, you can narrow your search by entering keywords and a postcode.

Advanced search – be more specific

If you’d like to enter more criteria into your search – use the advanced search function – here you can add in things like ages and event dates.

Browse by zone

If you are unsure what you are looking for, you can browse the site.

  1. Choose the zone that describes you the best
  2. A list of categories will then display - choose a category you are interested in by clicking on it.
  3. A list of sub-categories will now display – again click on the one that interests you.
  4. This will take you to a list of the organisations, services and events for this sub-category – have a look at those that sound relevant to you.

At any time, you can return to a previous page by using the back button or selecting the link from the breadcrumb trail at the top of the screen, for example Children > Having fun > Clubs for kids.

Helping with accessibility

Change the font size

At the left side of each page you’ll see the letter 'a' in three different sizes – by selecting these the font size can be made larger or smaller.
