Emma's story
Emma* could not have anticipated that she would need the help of the central Masonic Charities but the tragic loss of her husband to an unexpected heart attack meant her whole life was turned upside down. Emma’s first concern was the future welfare of her two young sons and the Lodge Almoner was there to guide her through the help available from the Masonic charities and the application process. The Charities now provide a termly maintenance allowance for both children. It helps with the cost of school uniform and educational trips. The Charities also pay for the football lessons which the boys consider the highlight of their week.
