From the Charity Steward...
Each year, it is the Worshipful Master’s privilege to nominate a charity for support throughout the year by way of monetary donations. For 2025, the chosen charity is Noah’s Ark.
Throughout the year at each Lodge Meeting, four different charities are usually chosen for some financial support by way of a “table collection”.
We are always looking to contribute our time as well as our cash where it is appropriate to assist a charity.
