Hindpool-based Furness Carers receive £25,000 from Masonic Charitable Foundation
A Huddersfield community charity which supports men with mental health issues is overwhelmed at financial support from West Riding Masonic Charities.Platform 1, based in the town’s St George’s Square and which has a membership of 500 since its inception to years ago, has received a £10,000 grant as part of our Covid-19 response to assist valuable work in local communities.
Professor Bill Fraser, head of Norwich Medical School at UEA and a consultant metabolic physician and chemical pathologist at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, said: “We are really very grateful for the support of the region’s Freemasons.
“Charitable giving is the cornerstone of what Freemasonry is all about and it is fantastic that we are able to help out our local community.”
This year as part of their annual support of hospices throughout the country the Assistant Provincial Grand Master of Devonshire W. Bro. Craig Cox presented a certificate denoting the £1000 given on behalf of the Devonshire Freemasons and the Masonic Charitable Foundation to Carey MacKenzie, Chris Webber and Julie Morris at Hospiscare’s Pine Lodge Day Hospice in Tiverton.
During times of such national fear and uncertainty it is fabulous to see communities come together to help each other and support those in need.
The Freemasons from the Crumlin Road Masonic Hall have purchased and arranged the distribution of toilet roll to be delivered to a total of 300 elderly people within the local area this weekend, with each receiving 8 rolls.
It all started when members of Crosby Lodge No 3714, Ron Elliot and Jake Huggett produced and delivered some simple wash packs, containing a toothbrush, toothpaste, shower gel and deodorant which weren’t available on the wards to staff and recovering patients at Aintree Hospital to enable them to freshen up. Many staff are unable to travel home and, in any event, the hours are long, and the work intense and demanding, so the packs were a welcome blessing.
