On Wednesday the 20th of March 2019, a group of local Freemasons visited the Talbot Butler Cancer Ward at Northampton General Hospital and presented staff with a cheque for £7,550 in support of the ward's Emergency Assessment Bay (EAB).
The cheque was presented by WBro Richard Norman, who was instrumental in raising the money as a result of the ongoing treatment he has been receiving on the ward.
