We are delighted to share the heartwarming news of Saint John's Lodge No. 1343's generous contribution to the TLC Essex Appeal. Recently, VW.Bro Paul Reeves, Chairman of the TLC Essex Appeal, had the pleasure of attending a very enjoyable Installation Meeting at the Cross Keys Masonic Centre, where he witnessed firsthand the lodge's commitment to charitable efforts.

In March 2024, Saint John's Lodge made a remarkable donation of £1,100 to the TLC Essex Appeal. This significant contribution highlights their dedication to supporting children in need across Essex. During the Installation Meeting, VW.Bro Paul Reeves had the privilege of presenting the outgoing Worshipful Master, W.Bro Paul Williams, PProvGStwd, with a Bronze Patron Certificate. This certificate acknowledges the lodge's substantial support and their elevated status as Bronze Patrons of the appeal.

The generous donation from Saint John's Lodge No. 1343 will go a long way in helping us provide comfort to children facing challenging times in hospitals. Our TLC teddies offer much-needed solace and reassurance, making hospital visits a little less daunting for young patients and their families.

We extend our deepest gratitude to W.Bro Paul Williams and all the brethren of Saint John's Lodge No. 1343 for their outstanding generosity and support. Your contributions are instrumental in enabling us to continue our mission and bring smiles to many young faces.

Thank you, brethren, for your unwavering support and dedication to the TLC Essex Appeal. Together, we are making a significant impact, one teddy at a time.
