Huntcliff Masonic Lodge, Saltburn held a social evening to raise money for the South Cleveland Heart Fund Charity (SCHF).
The charity was founded in 1994/95 to raise money locally, to support the Regional Cardiothoracic Unit at The James Cook University Hospital. The SCHF is made up of a committee of volunteers, chaired by Dr. Adrian Davies, the consultant cardiologist (now retired) who set up the Unit. Money raised is to support all aspects of the Unit and it’s expansion to what it is today, for providing additional equipment, training, research not available through routine NHS Funding. Dr Davies was the principal of the unit and has built it to what is acknowledged to be one of the leading centres of excellence in the country today.
The social evening was at the Wilton Golf Club, who provided excellent catering and the entertainment was by The Lipsticks – A Sassy Vintage Songbirds band. From ticket sales, raffles etc. the evening raised £500 Additionally the Freemasons Charity Yorkshire North & East Ridings (FCYNER) awarded a grant of £500, making a total donation of £1000 to the SCHF Charity. Huntcliff Lodge freemasons are very pleased to assist this excellent charity and it’s good work.
