Earlier in 2018, the Masonic Charitable Foundation announced that £600,000 had been approved to support hospices across England and Wales this year. In July, hospices were invited to apply for grants towards core funding and £300,000 was allocated to each hospice that receives less than 60% funding from the NHS. The other £300,000 will be provided to individual hospices across England and Wales via Hospice UK, the national charity for hospice care. Contributions from Freemasons to hospices have exceeded £13 million in England and Wales since 1984.

The cheque was handed over by Mr. Brian Hilling, the Master of Tenby Lodge, on behalf of the Masonic Province of West Wales, who regularly make significant donations to many local charities, and who recognised the vital work carried out by the First Responders, for whom the cheque was gratefully accepted by team members Tony Wall and Ben James.
