Mark Wooldridge, Secretary of Sanitarian Lodge No 3458 writes

Two Brethren of Sanitarian Lodge No 3458, W Bro Ken Gamble LGR and W Bro Brian Topliffe SLGR, are very much involved in their local community in the Abbey Wood area of London. They have just presented a £500 cheque to the Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice as part of the Sanitarian Lodge’s fundraising and charity contributions for W Bro Ken's Master's list. 

The longtime friends and fellow Brethren of the Sanitarian Lodge took time out to present the cheque on behalf of the Lodge to the staff of the Hospice.

The Greenwich & Bexley Hospice is an important part of the local community whose mission statement is 'to provide everyone in our wonderfully diverse community to be able to approach death in the way that suits their values, beliefs, and lifestyle'. 

In addition, W Bro Brian has been involved with the Hospice on a voluntary basis since 2017, aiding in their estates department dealing with all things maintenance.

Many thanks to both them and the Brethren of Sanitarian Lodge.
