Matched Provincial Charity Funding for the Northwich Stroke and Crewe Parkinson’s Charities

At John Brunner Lodge on Wednesday 18th May, six Middlewich lodges and Chapters made cheque presentations totalling £1650, split equally between the Northwich Stroke Club and Crewe Parkinson’s Society.

The funds were contributed by the Lodges and Chapters who meet at Middlewich Masonic Hall and were enhanced by support from the Mid Cheshire Committee of Benevolence together with an Area 3 Community Grant from the Cheshire Freemasons’ Charity (CFC).

WBro Kevin Dickens PAGDC, the chairman of CFC says:-

This is a great example of Lodges and Chapters coming together to support the local community. I urge other Masonic Halls to consider joint projects and to involve the Area team”.

WBro Colin Ross the Provincial Grand Charity Steward, then presented the cheques to Dennis Fricker and Christine Cartwright, the representatives of the Crewe Parkinson’s Society and Northwich Stroke Club.
