|
The Provincial Grand Master recently announced that the Province of Sussex will be holding an Appeal, culminating in 2017, in support of the Freemasons' Grand Charity. The Appeal will commence on Saturday 4th September 2010 with several launch events to be held throughout the Province on this day, in addition to the 'Fontwell Family Day' to be held on Sunday 5th September. The Freemasons' Grand Charity regularly supports national charities that are not connected with Freemasonry. In total, over £30 million has been donated to non-Masonic charities of all sizes. This includes over £8 million for hospice services as part of a special programme of support that began in 1984, and over £1.8 million for emergency relief work worldwide. In addition, every year The Freemasons' Grand Charity awards grants to thousands of applicants. Support for Freemasons and their dependents is one of the primary activities of the Charity and no case of genuine need is ever rejected. |
