The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice received a donation of £300 by members of Yateley Lodge 9107 after the 30 members of the organisation chose their specified charity. This Year’s Master of Lodge Mr Robert Yeomans said “The Hospice makes a significant contribution to the community and after collecting tremendous sums for our own Masonic Charities we decided that other local charities should be included too. The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice was chosen because it affects each and every person within the community in one form or another and it is important to show our gratitude to the service that the Hospice provides”.
