Look received £1,500 from the Grand Charity to help visually impaired children and young people.
The Freemasons’ Grand Charity is a grant-making charity dedicated to supporting people in need, having donated more than £100 million since 1981.
Each year The Freemasons’ Grand Charity provides financial help for hundreds of Freemasons and their dependants who are facing financial difficulties. These difficulties occur for many reasons, not least the current economic crisis, and the Charity seeks to improve the quality of life of those who find themselves in financial need for whatever reason. In addition, the Grand Charity funds hundreds of nationwide charities each year. These charities are supported because they aim to make a significant difference to people in need, provide maximum impact by benefitting as many people as possible and support issues that Freemasons and their families are concerned about.
The Grand Charity donated £1,000 to Little Hearts Matter to support families of children affected by a single ventricle diagnosis.
