Freemasons give £300 cheque to St Mary’s Lifeboat Scilly

St Mary's Lifeboat Scilly

Five inshore lifeboats were given money at an annual Charity Presentation Day by Freemasons of the Province of Cornwall, which saw more than £42,000 presented to local Cornish Charities. This brought the total to £118,000 over a six-week period. As no-one from the islands could attend the Presentation Day on the mainland, the cheque to St Mary’s Lifeboat was presented locally by Godolphin Charity Steward W Bro Ian Wrigley.
