Make them Smile

Presentation by the Intendant-General

27 November 2023

Make them Smile - a voluntary based Lincolnshire Children’s Charity - received a grant from the Grand Sovereign’s Care for Children Fund of £2,500. The money will help towards the wonderful work they do in providing support to children and young adults in the UK that are below 18 years of age who have a wide range of adverse medical/emotional conditions. The Charity also provides respite and holidays for young people and their families at their specially adapted holiday homes along the east coast at Golden Sands, Mablethorpe and at Butlins, Skegness.

Pictured presenting the cheque is the Intendant-General, R. III. KT. Steve Roberts, received by two of the Charity Trustees - Tony and Richard - at the Charity's respite holiday home at Butlins, Skegness which is shown below.

Heneage Preceptory 22 November 2023

A great night at Heneage Preceptory of Knights Templar at Grantham which got even better when Eminent Knight Steve Roberts, aka the Intendant-General of the Lincolnshire Division of the Red Cross of Constantine, was presented with a donation of £200 by the Trustees of the Lincolnshire pre-loved Regalia, Ivor Hallam and Mark Driffill.

Along with their wives, Ivor and Mark accept unwanted regalia for all the Masonic Orders which is then sold on after cleaning and any necessary refurbishment - the profits of which are then donated back on an equal share basis to every Masonic Order that operates in the Province of Lincolnshire, which in the case of the Red Cross will be added to the Benevolent Fund.

A definite win-win scenario, not least for those who benefit, be they Masonic or public recipients.

Thanks Bro. Knights for the donation and the service you provide.
