Salisbury Hospice has been chosen to receive a grant of £1470 from The Provincial Grand Lodge of Wiltshire Freemasons.
The grant from Wiltshire Freemasons comes through the Masonic Charitable Foundation (MCF) and will be used to support the delivery of our core hospice services utilised by our patients and their families.
This grant is one of 227 grants to hospices around the country from Freemasons. In total £600,000 will be donated to hospices all over England and Wales this year. This includes £300,000 which will be distributed to each hospice that receives less than 60 per cent funding from the NHS. A further £300,000 will be provided to individual hospices across England and Wales via Hospice UK, the national charity for hospice care. The MCF is partnering with Hospice UK to re-imagine day hospice services.
Contributions from Freemasons to hospices have exceeded £15 million in England and Wales since 1984.
We would like to offer our gratitude to Wiltshire Freemasons for this generous grant and their continued, kind support of Salisbury Hospice.
