The Freemasons’ Grand Charity has again approved a national grant of £180,000 to the air ambulance trusts in England and Wales together with a grant of £12,000 for rescue services in those Provinces that are not covered by an air ambulance.

Over the past seven years a total of over £1,300,000 has now been donated by The Freemasons’ Grand Charity to air ambulance services, quite apart from the generous amounts donated by Provincial and Metropolitan Grand Lodges.  As before, the national grant will be divided equally so that the Metropolitan Grand Lodge and each Provincial Grand Lodge will receive a cheque for £4,000 made payable to the appropriate air ambulance trust or rescue service.
