MORE CHARITY PRESENTATIONS
On Monday 16th January after visiting Christ Church Community Centre, St Michael’s Charity Shop and Harrogate Hospital Radio to present cheques, local Freemasons made their way to Martin House Children’s Hospice in Boston Spa where Mike Holmes Area 3 Charity Committee Chairman asked Doug Mills Provincial Charity Assistant to present a cheque for £3929 from the Masonic Charitable Foundation to Sarah Smith. In thanking Doug, Sarah also acknowledged that a further grant of £2000 had been received from the Provincial Grand Master’s Fund to purchase nine ‘smart’ TVs. The Masons are always pleased to meet Sarah and her colleagues and a gain an insight into the fantastic work done in support of the families and their loved ones. It was also interesting to have outlined an Action Plan for Medical Research at the University of York with core funding of nearly £900K coming from Martin House over a five year period.
