Both local charities are also currently seeking volunteers, including drivers - contact details can be found online.

The money for this donation was raised by a collection from the Lodge members and a contribution was made by the Leicester and Rutland Freemasons Provincial Charity.

In 2023, Freemason’s Charities donated over £190,000 to 82 local charities in the two counties of Leicestershire and Rutland.
