Provincial Grand Charity Steward
John Taylor – Provincial Grand Charity Steward
The current Provincial Grand Charity Steward is John Taylor. John was appointed to the role in November 2023. His duties are varied, although he admits to them being very pleasant. His role is to encourage Freemasons from across the Province of East Lancashire to have charity at the very heart of their Freemasonry, and to help decide which good causes should benefit from the charitable donations of Freemasons.
John is well supported in his duties by the Charity Stewards in every Lodge and District throughout the Province of East Lancashire. In turn, those Charity Stewards share the role within their Districts and their Lodges by encouraging giving, deciding upon which groups should receive their charitable donations, and handing over the donations to those charities and good causes.
