The weather has brightened up and enabled the residents to take advantage of the sunshine and top up
on vitamin D.
The Association of Friends believe that an active mind and body will help the residents avoid mishaps
and tumbles that can be so debilitating to our senior members. We therefore support regular music
therapy which stimulates their memory and strengthens the chest and core muscles as well as ‘fun, fit
and fabulous’ exercises that may be performed sitting or standing, to enhance balance and general
flexibility whilst promoting a general feeling of well-being when the body releases the endorphins.
In addition, “The Friends” support Traditional and National days as well as other events throughout the
year.
“So what can I do to help?” I hear you ask - well all this costs money. By supporting our 500 Club, for
just £50 per year, be it Lodges, individual members, relatives or members of the public, everyone will
have a chance to win £1000 from our prize draw, whilst supporting our wonderful Home.
By joining the 500 club it enables us to forecast our income and obtain more competitive prices by
“block booking “ entertainment etc. in our residents calendar.
We also have Thursday and Saturdays available for our Coffee Mornings. Lodges may sponsor these to
enable coffee and cake is served, chat with the residents and brighten their day!Members of the
Association and staff will be present to assist you, so all you have to do is turn up.
Remember this is our Masonic Home and any one of us may have cause to call upon it for assistance for
a loved one or even for ourselves.
