Masons help WADE members get into the garden
MASONS proved that they are good neighbours by making a generous donation to WADE last week.
Members of The Masonic Charitable Foundation visited the Wokingham and District Centre for the Elderly on Wednesday to give the group £1,500.
The charity was chosen by WBro
Andy McNab for the year he served as Worshipful Master of The Priory Lodge, which meets in Sindlesham.
WADE said that they were grateful to receive the gift.
Jackie Wilson, the charity’s fundraising trustee, said: “The money will be used to enhance the gardens of the Day Centre, which are so enjoyed by our members.
“Our first project will be to build two raised beds, which will encourage the Members to get involved with some light gardening.
“Most of them have lived in houses with gardens in the past, and they miss being able to get involved with planting and growing flowers and vegetables.
“If there is money left over, we will put it towards a sturdy gazebo, so that the members are able to take full advantage of the garden.”
The Masonic Charitable Foundation award millions of pounds each year to local and national charities that help vulnerable people, advance medical research and provide opportunities for young people.
