A charity cheque presentation evening, hosted by Island Freemasons, was held at Cowes Masonic Hall on Thursday May 30.
Representatives from over twenty Island charities along with local dignitaries including His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant and the High Sheriff of the Isle of wight attended the presentation and were welcomed by the Chairman for the Solent Area, Worshipful Brother Clive Dobson
The event was held to recognise the tremendous work the many charities and unsung heroes give in delivering a wide range of support to local residents.
It provided a forum for the charity representatives to talk about the fantastic work they carry out in our community. It was a moving experience and all who attended were left with much to ponder.
There are some 900 Freemasons meeting in 18 Lodges at 8 centres across the Island.
Kindness and charitable giving have long been deeply ingrained within the principles of Freemasonry.
To this end, Isle of Wight Freemasons donated over £40,000 to local Isle of Wight Charities in 2023.
