WIDNES FREEMASONS SUPPORT "CAMP PROJECT WALES"

A Halton based charity called “Camp Project Wales” which encourages local children to build self-confidence and esteem has benefited from a donation of £1,370 arranged by the Goodwill Masonic Lodge which meets at the Masonic Hall in Widnes. The charity arranges camping holidays for children in the borough aged 11 to 14 to help them to develop self awareness and reach a greater potential in a family based social setting.

Every year the “Camp Project” arranges a holiday under canvas at a site near Amlwch on Anglesey and in the past has faced the expense of hiring commercial cookers big enough to provide meals for almost 100 children and volunteer staff. Now, thanks to the Masonic donation, they will be able to buy their own.

When members of Goodwill Lodge heard about the work of the charity they contacted the Community Fund of West Lancashire Freemasons who allocated funds which enabled the donation to be made.

Assistant Provincial Grand Master Dennis Rudd presented a cheque for £1,370 to Ann Williams from “Camp Project Wales”.

It was a family affair when Lewis Henry James Redhead was Raised at the meeting of Goodwill Lodge No 3896 in Widnes Masonic Hall.

Taking the chair for the ceremony was his father, Widnes Group Chairman David Redhead, while the Traditional History was delivered by his brother-in-law, Neil McLean.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, David presented his son with the copy of the Volume of the Sacred Law on which he had taken his obligations.

Neil had travelled more than 230 miles from his home in Chelmsford to be at the ceremony. Neil is married to Lewis’s sister, Rachel. Although still a member of a Widnes Lodge, along with his father Doug McLean, Neil is now a member of the Lodge of Good Fellowship No 276 in the Province of Essex.
