Astral Lodge Freemasons help to keep Air Ambulance flying

Freemason Simon Dixon of Grimsby’s Astral Lodge decided that during his year as Master of the Lodge he would like to donate proceeds from all the raffles to the Lincolnshire and Notts Air Ambulance – and with support from the Lodge that’s meant a boost of £2,500 for the vital service.

A small group was invited to the presentation, which included a talk from a survivor treated by the crew, and a tour of the base and helicopter.

Simon can be seen presenting the cheque with Nick Ingoldby, also from the Astral Lodge, and, from left, Dr Andy Lindsey, Ian Huggett of Saint James Lodge, Robin Gracie of Lord Heneage Lodge, Keith Edwards of Astral, David Dillerstone of Vigilantes Lodge and Paramedic James Harness.
