We are delighted to share the wonderful news of a recent visit to St Margaret's Lodge No. 5168 at Rochford, where the warmth and generosity of the brethren truly shone through. During this memorable visit, I had the pleasure of presenting the Worshipful Master, W.Bro Lee Taylor, PSGD, PAPGM, with a TLC Essex Patron Certificate. This certificate was awarded in recognition of the lodge's generous donation of £550 to the TLC Essex Appeal.

The support from St Margaret's Lodge No. 5168 is deeply appreciated and plays a crucial role in helping us continue our mission. The generous donation will enable us to provide more TLC teddies to children facing challenging times in hospitals across Essex. These teddies offer comfort and a sense of security to young patients, making their hospital experience a little less daunting.

Presenting the TLC Essex Patron Certificate to W.Bro Lee Taylor was a heartfelt moment, symbolizing the lodge's commitment to charitable efforts and their support for our cause. The brethren of St Margaret's Lodge No. 5168 have demonstrated remarkable kindness and community spirit, which we are incredibly grateful for.

We extend our sincerest thanks to all the brethren of St Margaret's Lodge No. 5168 for their generous contribution and unwavering support. It is through the kindness and dedication of supporters like you that we can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of children in need.

Thank you, brethren, for your generosity and for being an integral part of the TLC Essex Appeal. Together, we can continue to bring comfort and joy to many more young hearts.
