24/12/2021

0 Comments

 
​This latest newsletter gives details of grants awarded during December, to charities and organisations across the Province.  Its aim is to ensure that all brethren and their families within Yorkshire, West Riding are aware of how their contributions are being used and the work that WRMCL is doing, on their behalf, to support those within our communities. 
 
Since the previous update, the Provincial Grand Master’s Fund has made grants, to the total value of £22,606.77, to eleven community organisations, where it is hoped there will be the biggest impact in terms of community benefit.
 
Four grants of £2,000 each were made at the beginning of the month, to charities running Foodbanks and the following grants were made in time for Christmas:
 
Parkside School, Bradford

The school recognises that special educational needs are not a synonym for low ability or that pupils with special educational needs are homogenous. They value all pupils and celebrate diversity of experience, interest and achievement and provide a level playing field where pupils with special educational needs have access to the same opportunities as their peers.

The grant of £2,000 will assist in the establishment of a therapeutic garden, enabling students to enjoy a tranquil ‘break-out’ space; sponsored by Lodge of Felicity No 6001, Bradford.

Yorkshire Children's Centre
 
The Kirklees based charity is a network of practical projects, partners and services, dedicated to helping local residents achieve their full potential. Working in and for the community, their support begins at the earliest stage of an individual's life and extends to empower children, young people, adults, families and older people to improve their lives.
YCC listens, respects and cares and hopes to make a positive and lasting difference.
 
The grant of £2,000 will contribute towards the cost of a digital whiteboard for use in Food Technology lessons; sponsored by Lodge of Connaught & Truth No 521, Huddersfield.

The Focus4Hope Foodbank, ensures families can access food and hygiene items. Debt and money management services are also provided. and are very often accessed by the same individuals who receive food parcels
