At their Ladies Festival, held at Freemason's Hall Northampton on Saturday 2 April, the Worshipful Master, of Coritani Lodge No 8079, WBro Neil Carr and his wife, Julie, handed over a cheque for £2,500 to Ian Spencer, son of the late Pete Spencer, who founded the Helping Hands Memorial Fund.
The money was made up from donations of £500 each from Coritani, Danetre & Buckby Castle Lodges in Daventry with a generous £1,000 top-up from the Provincial Grand Charity.
The Daventry based Helping Hands Memorial Fund provides specialist equipment and arranges days out for seriously ill and disabled children.
For several years, the Daventry based Lodges have annually, each donated £500 to a local charity, taking it in turns to select the worthy recipient.
