We hold regular social events, and have raffles at each of our meetings, and this helps us raise funds to donate to worthy causes.

Feeling thankful for all we have today having been able to donate £500 to Great North Air Ambulance Service and £500 to Sunderland Community Soup Kitchen, two tremendous local charities.

The GNAA need no introduction. They do great work across our region and are regularly supported by Durham Freemasons.

Sunderland Community Soup Kitchen, is, quite literally, part of our community, providing free food, and other help, to people on our doorstep, no questions asked.

We hope our donations can go some small way to help both worthy causes.
