OUR PRESENCE IN MONMOUTHSHIRE
The Trust is currently supporting two families from the Province of Monmouthshire. Over the last ten years nine families have been supported at a cost of over £88,000.
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 1999 the local Children’s Hospice, Ty-Hafan near Cardiff became one of the first Hospices to receive assistance from Lifelites. In 2003, it received its first upgrade and to date over £138K has been expended on this Hospice alone.
The Trust has also awarded St Woolos Cathedral, Newport £3,000 per annum to assist with the educational costs of two of its choristers. This support maintains the close link that Freemasonry has always had with Cathedrals and is part of the Trusts programme of non-Masonic grant giving.
