A cheque for the sum of £500 from the New Provincial Benevolent Fund is presented to Mr Tony Jex, Corp Director of the East Coast Elite (Marching) Band by Worshipful Brother Roger Dixon on  behalf of the Pelham Pillar Lodge No 792.

It is in recognition of the excellent work by the Band supporting local young people with life as well as musical and dance skills often at little cost to the individual. We hope it will help sustain the high standard of instruments and uniforms used by band members and that they go on to maintain the bands high performance levels at events and competitions across the country. Literally flying the flag for the young people of our area.

A further cheque of £500 from the NPBF is presented by Worshipful Brother Roger Dixon on behalf of the Pelham Pillar Lodge 792 to cerebral palsy and type one diabetes
sufferer, Andy Green, co-founder of Counting Hope, a group of people born and
bred in the NE Lincolnshire region, passionate about making a real difference!
Especially when it comes to the children of Sal Island, Cabo Verde. Their current project is to fund raise to pay for a school kitchen to be built which will enable the children to draw down Government funded free school meals – no kitchen no meals. This contribution will go 1/4 of the way to paying for the new kitchen.
