Hot off the press from Wbro Keith Newman:
Cramlington pensioners get egg cited at Easter
Thoughtful motorcycling freemasons in Northumberland paid a surprise visit to a Cramlington care home to deliver bags full of Easter eggs.
Secretary of The Northumberland Chapter of the Widows Son’s Masonic Bikers Association, Tom Stewart from Widdrington arranged for the eggs to be donated to residents at Scarborough Court care home in Cramlington.
The home, run by the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution has around 59 residents and Tom enjoyed his time talking to some of them.
“It was a pleasure to meet the staff and residents and spend quality time chatting with them. That’s the final delivery of chocolate Easter eggs done now for 2018, in total we’ve distributed around 400 to special schools and to Scarborough Court.”
The Widows Sons is open to all Freemasons who enjoy the sport of motorcycling and together they help to raise awareness of the work of the organisation as well as raising much needed funds for charity themselves. Indeed recently, the Widows Sons have helped many good causes and bought equipment for schools and charities. These have included the Greggs Children’s Cancer Run, IT equipment for special schools, trikes for Hexham Priory School and they have also supported Northumberland Blood Bikes.
Last year, Northumberland Freemasons gave away more than £600,000 to local charities while nationally, The Freemasons’ Grand Charity is dedicated to helping people in need, and has donated over £100 million since 1980.
Freemasons buildings in Northumberland Province can be found in:
Alnwick, Amble, Ashington, Bedlington, Bellingham, Berwick, Blyth, Byker, Cramlington, Haltwhistle, Hexham, Mickley, Morpeth, Newbiggin, Jesmond, Newcastle, North Shields, Ponteland, Seahouses, Seaton Delaval, Shiremoor, Throckley, Wallsend, Whitley Bay and Wylam.
