Stroud Court needs your votes to receive £25,000 from Gloucestershire Freemasons
STROUD Court in Minchinhampton is appealing to all its friends and supporters to vote online to help them receive a £25,000 Community Award from the Freemasons.
As part of Freemasonry’s 300th anniversary celebrations, the Masonic Charitable Foundation is distributing three million pounds to 300 charities across the country, and Stroud Court is one of those selected.
Each of the nominated charities will receive a grant, but the public vote will determine how much they receive, ranging from £4,000 to £25,000. Those who want to vote should visit the MCF website mcf.org.uk/vote, select the Gloucestershire page and vote for the charity of their choice. The voting period is from Monday, June 12. until Monday, July 31.
Chris Atkins, Chief Executive at Stroud Court said: “A grant of £25,000 would make a huge difference to our work. I would urge anyone and everyone to go online and vote for Stroud Court. Your vote will help autistic adults to live the life they chose. Please remember that every single vote counts.”
The Masonic Charitable Foundation obtains all of its funding from Freemasons and their families.
It is estimated that half of Freemasonry’s total charitable expenditure of over £33m goes to charities that help people in communities across the country.
