Charity NOTICE BOARD
BUCKS:
Victims of the Australian bushfires have been handed a boost by the Buckinghamshire Freemasons.
Masons have contributed to a £79,000 grant through the Masonic Charitable Foundation – funded by freemasons from across England and Wales.
This will see AUS$50,000 given to the Australian Freemasons’ Disaster Relief Funds in each of the three states most affected by the blaze: New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.
John Clark, head of Buckinghamshire Freemasons, said: “I’m very pleased that Buckinghamshire Freemasons are working together with freemasons in Australia to raise funds to help the victims of the blazes, many of whom have lost everything.”
