Black Cab Trip 15 Countries 10 Days

Please read below and sponsor our very own JW Dejan

Please accept my gratitude for giving me the opportunity to share with all of you our mission to use the iconic Black Cab to travel from England to Macedonia, crossing 15 countries in just 10 days, to raise awareness and funds for charities that are working towards a better future for our communities.

Through our journey, we aim to promote the values of empathy, compassion, and solidarity and inspire people to join us in supporting these worthy causes. We believe that our journey can help to bridge cultures and connect people from different parts of Europe, all working together to create positive change. By supporting our cause, you are not only contributing to these charities but also becoming part of a journey that believes in the power of travel and community to make a difference.

First Rising Special Edition – Emergency Aid to Earthquake Survivors

MONDAY 13th FEBRUARY

Welcome to First Rising – the official newsletter for members of United Grand Lodge of England.

EMERGENCY AID TO EARTHQUAKE SURVIVORS

https://ugle.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a19ebddb1f56f7e5d85e4ab82&id=58efe18a97&e=0ff5eb6b61
Survivors of the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria will receive vital emergency supplies thanks to a £60,000 grant from our charity to the British Red Cross, UK for UNHCR and UNICEF, who are leading the relief effort on the ground.

The death toll is rising, and thousands of survivors are sleeping in the open in temperatures well below zero. Snow is falling in some parts as the region experiences colder-than-average winter weather, hampering rescue efforts. 
 Find out more on the help that we are providing through the Masonic Charitable Foundation below.
