A donation of almost £6,000 from Lincolnshire’s Freemasons has reinforced the position of Swallow & Cuxwold Village Hall as a community hub by funding replacement of a range of obsolete equipment.
Thanks to the donation the delighted Hall Committee will be able to get a new marquee, chairs, and a fridge that will support the hall’s own fundraising efforts through this summer and beyond.
The funds have come from two sources within Lincolnshire Freemasonry – the Craft Freemasons’ New Provincial Benevolent Fund and the Lincolnshire Mark Benevolent Association, each of which contributed £2,879 to the £5,758 total.
This is the first time since 2019’s devastating Wainfleet floods that these two groups of Freemasons have come together to support a project with such clear community benefit.
In the picture are Mick Stocker (Mark Charity Steward), Kathy Stoneman, Steve Hallberg, Cath Slater, Paul Ellis (Craft Charity Steward), and Arthur Baxter, who set the wheels in motion for the donation to be made.
