Latest support for Non-Masonic charities announced

Projects supporting vulnerable people, youth opportunities and research into the cause and treatment of illness and disease are the latest beneficiaries of grants to non-Masonic charities.  In total, £368,000 will be shared between ten national charities bringing many positive benefits to the wider community.

The largest single grant announced will support the Royal National Lifeboat Institution’s introductory volunteer crew training for young people. This will make a vital contribution to developing the skills of the 40% of recruits who are under 25. Continuing the theme of support for opportunities for this age group, Rainer will receive £25,000 to help fund a tutor to provide vocational skills training at a centre for disadvantaged young people.

All of the grants are part of The Freemasons’ Grand Charity’s programme of support for non-Masonic charities that reflect issues of interest, concern and relevance to Masons and their families.
