Charity Donations

The Lodge of St Mark and its Members have from funds raised over recent years provided charitable donations to various deserving causes, which have included Cancer Research UK, Air Ambulance, Pilgrims Hospice, Home-Start (providing parental support), Demelza (hospice care for children), charities concerned with asthma sufferers and families dealing with bereavement and The Gurkha Welfare Trust. Funds are also being raised to be applied in support of the Masonic Charitable Foundation, which each year as a charity makes significant donations as help for many varying causes.

Thank you for the support from Members, their Families and Friends which has enabled this to happen.
