Recently the Guernsey Press put a fabulous article about 3 Freemason Lodges helping 5 charities.
On the 11th November 2023 Mariners Lodge No 168, St Sampsons Lodge No 2598 and Lodge Fidelis No 1809 held a Ladies Night at St Pierre Park Hotel.
Funds raised during the event were shared between Chelsea Pensioners', the Gurkha Welfare Trust, the Friends of the PEH, Guernsey Society for Cancer Relief and the GSPCA.
The evening included fund raising and entertainment and a lot of fun was had by all while raising funds for these worthwhile causes.
Local Freemasons and Directors of Autism Guernsey Worshipful Brothers, Jerry Girard, Dr Nick King and Andrew Sparks joined forces with the GSPCA Manager and a Brother Steve Byrne, to raise badly needed funds for both charities by offering sponsorship of 60 handcrafted puffins which were individually painted by artists, school children, community groups and companies from across the island.
Each year the Province of the Channel Islands Order of the Secret Monitor chose two charities to support and in the past year one of those charities was the Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA).
The GSPCA helps over 3000 wild animals every year and many more domestic and those in need.
The animal the GSPCA helps more than any is the humble hedgehog, in fact over 700 in a year.
On Sunday the GSPCA Manager undertook the challenge of running the 13.1 miles which makes up the Guernsey Dairy Milk Run Half Marathon.
Earlier this year the GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne celebrated his 40th year and helped raise funds for the GSPCA instead of cards and gifts.
Steve at the time decided that he had put on a little weight in recent years so made the decision to get fit and run the Guernsey Dairy Milk Run Half Marathon.

On Wednesday 3rd April Worshipful Master Steve Martin from St Martins' Lodge No.4142 at the Masonic Centre in St Martins met Steve Byrne from the GSPCA with a wonderful donation.
On the 2nd March St Martins' Lodge No.4142 held a Ladies Night fundraiser and all had a fabulous time at Les Cotils where it was held.
The proceeds raised for the GSPCA was a fantastic £500 which was presented when they met and from all the team and animals at the GSPCA we want to say a huge thanks to all involved and supported the Ladies Night.
