Members of Chillington Manor Lodge No 4649 are to be congratulated for their generous donation of £750 in support of the vital work carried out by the Demelza Children’s Hospice.

An application for match funding was submitted to the Trustees of the Cornwallis East Kent Freemasons Charity by the Lodge Charity Steward WBro Reinhard Stille. The Trustees were keen to support the Lodge initiative by providing an additional £500 in match funding. A cheque for £1250 was presented to the Hospice by representatives of the Lodge during the summer period. Unfortunately, the Worshipful Master, WBro Oliver Henderson was unable to be present, however, his father WBro Paul Henderson a Past Master of the Lodge stepped in to represent the Lodge.
