Another year of raffles and fundraising initiatives by the lodge, another cheque being donated to a commendable cause to help with their work – this years outgoing Worshipful Master being W.Bro Paul Mallon, and his chosen charity being the Bath and District branch of the Samaritans.
Being acutely aware of how tough times are for many at the moment, and of the incredible work Samaritans do in helping those affected in their hour of need, W.Bro Paul and the brethren of Elizabethan hope our donation of £2000 will be of some help in supporting the volunteer-led outreach and frontline support for the charity is famed.
