South Wales Freemasons recently held a Teddy Bear Picnic at St Lythans, near Wenvoe, to celebrate 300 years of Freemasonry and to raise funds for the Teddies for Loving Care (TLC) Appeal.

The Teddies for Loving Care scheme has provided over 2 million teddies to children in A&E departments in hospitals across England & Wales. Supplied by Freemasons, the teddies are used to comfort children visiting hospitals and are used as a distraction or helpful show-and-tell.

Freemasonry, under the UGLE, is one of world’s oldest secular fraternal societies, a society of men concerned with moral and spiritual values, whose members are taught its precepts by a series of ritual dramas following ancient forms in a progression of allegorical two-part plays. Freemasonry is not a secret society; its secrets are confined to its traditional modes of recognition. Like many other societies it regards some of its internal affairs as private matters for its members, according to a media announcement by Sri Lanka’s Freemasons.

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.
