Salford District recently applied for ELMC Grant assistance to support the equipping of two new rooms in a house that had been donated to Salford Women’s Aid, at a cost of £620 each. The District also funded a room as did Maritime Lodge 3025. The MCF (RCG) also contributed £1240 for the final two rooms.
On Thursday 23rd July Salford District presented a cheque to Dawn Redshaw, Fundraising Manager, for £2480. On Friday the MCF [RCG] gave £1240 making a total of £3720. The whole house has therefore been funded by Freemasonry.
The Brethren of Salford District have been donating furniture, cloths, toys, pots, pans and other house hold items. Teddies are also being supplied for the children.
