BBC Radio Humberside’s David ‘Burnsie’ Burns was taken aback when he found out on air that last year Freemasonry gave £51m to good causes in England and Wales – mind you, who wouldn’t be, for that’s almost a million pounds a week, EVERY week!
He learned that gem of information about Freemasonry from our Provincial Communications Officer Stuart Pearcey during an an interview that you can listen to on iPlayer at this link – scroll forward to three hours, 49 minutes, and ten seconds to hear it.
Said Stuart: “We covered a lot of ground, starting with how we’d put £343,000 into 135 food banks up and down the country, then touched on Barton members’ additional £200 for selection boxes, and then the work of Mike and Jamie Bristow and their families in Louth preparing thousands of meals for delivery by the Free Wheelers Lodge. I even managed to plug our web site at the end!”
