OUR PRESENCE IN DEVONSHIRE

As at the beginning of June 2006 there were 29 beneficiaries receiving the care and protection of the Trust from within the Province of Devonshire.

These beneficiaries were receiving assistance due to the death of a parent, desertion of a parent, or the disability of a parent each category bringing its own unique heartbreak and turmoil to that family.

In the last twelve months alone, a total of over £75,000 was expended by the Trust on its beneficiaries from within the Province. Over the last 5 years the support amounted to almost half a million pounds.

The children and the young people under the protection of the Craft thank the Province for its hard work on their behalf, which enables them to maintain confidence in the belief that the Craft will continue to assist them in preparation for life ‘as their fathers would have done had they been able so to do.
