​Our Charity Steward was approach by the Castleford Brownies asking for support to allow them to take 24 Brownies on a camping trip to Bradley Woods, Brighouse. It was agreed that £400 from the raffle money is to be donated to them. 

Picture above is our WM W.Bro Chris Powell and our Charity Steward W.Bro Martyn Clift together with the representatives of the Castleford Brownies. 

So this month’s community donation from Legiolium Lodge was for the Garforth Peace Flame. A very worthy cause promoting peace around the world and in all aspects of life. They are particularly proud of the project work they have done with the children from the four local Garforth Schools. As a not for profit organisation this donation comes at a time when finances are tough and this will allow them to continue the good community work they do.

Our Worshipful Master W.Bro Chris Powell and our Mentor W.Bro Fred Knowles presented them with a cheque for £400.

More good work delivered by the membership of Legiolium Lodge for local good causes.

This time a grant of £117 was donated by the lodge for the Airedale Baby and Children’s Bank.

The Airedale Baby and Children’s Bank are there to support families in the local community with pre-loved Baby and Children’s items.
In these difficult times the Legiolium Freemasons from Castleford are happy to support this great Community Group in anyway we can.

The cheque was delivered by our Charity Steward W.Bro Martyn Clift and was great fully received

After a difficult time during and after the pandemic the 41st Girl Guides of Pontefract were in real danger of having to close due to increasing running costs and struggling membership numbers.

The Castleford Freemasons of Legiolium Lodge 1542 have therefore provided them with a grant of £635 to ensure that the unit could keep open providing a valuable service to the girls of the Pontefract area.

This is one of many grants that the Freemasons provide locally, regionally and nationwide. If you are interested in more information about our organisation or joining please visit
