The Masonic and Military Order of the Red Cross of
Constantine, South Wales and Monmouthshire
Division makes £1000.00 Charity Donation to Tŷ
Hafan Children’s Hospice
SOME BACK GROUND
In 2015 the Masonic and Military Order of
the Red Cross of Constantine celebrated its 150th Anniversary with a
Family Church Service at Lincoln Cathedral on Saturday 9th
September, which was attended by over 800 Knights and their wives/partners,
followed by luncheon at the Lincoln County Showground. The Grand Sovereign, M.Ill.Kt.
Graham Leslie Flight, G.C.C. in recognition of and to further commemorate
the Sesqui-centenary announced that it was his wish to make a substantial
donation from The Grand Sovereign’s Care for Children Fund, which had been
established a few years earlier by one of his predecessors, principally for the
benefit of sick or disadvantaged children who needed support.
Leading up to the 150th anniversary of the
foundation of the Order, the members in England,
Wales
and the Divisions overseas were encouraged to financially support the Care for
Children Fund with donations to boost the reserves. Resulting from these collective efforts, it
was decided that each Division within the Order would be invited to nominate a
children’s hospice from within in their region to receive a donation from the
Care for Children Fund: the Hospice nominated by the Division of South Wales
and Monmouthshire was Tŷ Hafan, based in Sully,
near Barry. Such was the level of
response to the Sesqui-centenary appeal that The Order was able to issue a
cheque for £1000.00 to each of its 33 Divisions for onward presentation to a nominated
children’s hospice, whilst still holding something in reserve.
The cheques were distributed to
Intendants-General at their Annual Conference held at Mark Masons Hall London on 12th October 2016,
where The Division of South Wales and Monmouthshire received its cheque for
£1,000. 00. This was formally presented
to Diane Stringer, Corporate & Community Administrator &
Care Liaison Officer for Tŷ Hafan on the
24th October 2016 by R. Ill. Kt. Graham S. Gubb, Intendant-General (Divisional
Head of Order) of the Red Cross of Constantine South Wales and Monmouthshire Division, he was accompanied by Ill. Kt.
Ronald Slater, Deputy Intendant General and members of the Divisional executive.
Cheers!
