Following on from Connaught Freemason’s Christmas Dinner at which a festive hamper was auctioned for the benefit of the ‘SWALLOW’ Charity, we went to their café at The Hive in Peasedown St John on Tuesday, 16th January to present a cheque for £200.

£100 having been raised at the auction and a further £100 from the Lodge Charity Fund.

Nicky Tew, Fundraising and Finance Manager at SWALLOW said, “We are delighted with the donation from the Connaught Lodge of Freemason as we rely on voluntary donations like this to be able to continue our work.”

The charity provides support for teenagers and adults with learning difficulties so they can live their lives to the full. SWALLOW stands for: ‘South West Action for Learning and Living Our Way.’
