"In launching the 2013 Festival Appeal for the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution, I am conscious of the tremendous reputation enjoyed by our Province in raising funds for National and Local charities and good causes.

A wonderfully successful 2002 Festival on behalf of The Grand Charity raised the magnificent total of £2.2m - a tribute to dedicated efforts throughout the Craft and by every other Masonic Order within our happy Province. We rightly take great pride in demonstrating our total commitment to every aspect of charitable work and I am therefore quite certain that the 2013 Festival will also be immensely successful.

How Can Masons Help?

The most effective way is by using the Gift Aid process in conjunction with a Lodge Relief Chest. Using Gift Aid means that for every pound you give, the charity currently receives an extra 28p from the Inland Revenue.

It would be appreciated if you could commit yourself to a minimum suggested payment totalling £60 over a twelve month period by signing a Regular Payment Promise for a minimum period of 6 years.

The strategy of giving a modest amount over a longer period will hopefully result in the vast majority of this Province's members being able to contribute to a final total of which we can all be proud.

For Non Tax Payers, regular contributions by cash or cheque will be most thankfully received.
