1 2018 Festival Nottinghamshire
2 Provincial Grand Master The Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys is one of four central Masonic Charities, and cares for the children and other dependants of Freemasons, together with other children and young people who have no Masonic connection. In common with the other Masonic Charities, its income is raised by the members of Lodges across England and Wales rather than by any form of public subscription. The most significant method of raising funds for the central Charities occurs when a Masonic Province usually corresponding to a county concentrates its efforts in a Festival Appeal: once every 11 years or so each Province in turn celebrates having spent between five and eight years devoting its charitable attention to one of these charities. Here in Nottinghamshire, our next Festival will be held in 2018 and will be in aid of the Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys. Since my Installation as Provincial Grand Master in September 2005, this Province has supported the work of many charities providing relief to children: the Bluebell Woods and Rainbows Hospices, Skillforce, Scouts, Girl Guides, A Place to Call Our Own, Riding for the Disabled and many, many more. Throughout this time the Brethren of this Province have been untiringly and consistently generous. To be chosen to support the Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys for our Festival Appeal is to continue this pattern of supporting children who deserve our generosity. In this brochure you will read much about the work of the Trust: how it rescues children from the effects of the misfortunes that have afflicted their families; how it relieves poverty and advances education; how it provides opportunities for children and young people to fulfil their potential in sporting, musical and other talents. Some of their stories are very moving; each is inspiring; all demonstrate that an investment in the education and welfare of the next generation can be handsomely rewarded by the recipients by the manner in which they conduct themselves, and the contribution that they make to society, during the remainder of their life. The launch of this Festival Appeal on 22 April 2012 at a splendid concert at the Royal Concert The PGM and his wife, Margaret The Brethren of this Province have been untiringly and consistently generous. To be chosen to support the Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys for our Festival Appeal is to continue this pattern of supporting children who deserve our generosity. Hall in Nottingham illustrates that a great deal of fun and enjoyment can be derived from fundraising for a good cause such as The Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys. I welcome this new opportunity to show to the world how generous the Freemasons of Nottinghamshire can be, and I wish the Province every success in the challenge it has been set. I commend this Charity, and this Festival Appeal, to all who read this brochure. Robin K. Wilson Provincial Grand Master for Nottinghamshire 2
3 Our presence in Nottinghamshire The previous Festival held by Nottinghamshire in support of the RMTGB was completed in 1991 and raised over 2.2m. Since then, these donations have been used to support children and young people such as those highlighted in this brochure, including many from this Province. During the past five years, we have supported 20 young people in Nottinghamshire at a cost of almost 140k. We have also assisted two young people through our TalentAid scheme, and a bursary has been available for a chorister at Southwell Minster since Through our support for Lifelites, we have also contributed to the provision of fun and educational technology at the Rainbows and Bluebell Wood Hospices which care for children and families from the local area. Help us continue our support for children in Nottinghamshire and elsewhere. Please turn to page eight for details about making a donation, fundraising or promoting the 2018 Festival. A message from the President Mike Woodcock Nottinghamshire Freemasons have an enviable record of achievement in supporting the Festival Appeals for the central Masonic Charities. This is one of the many reasons why I have been proud to be a member of this Province for over 40 years. Now, as President of Freemasonry s oldest charity, the Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys, I am also proud that throughout our history, which stretches for almost two-and-a-quarter centuries, we have never had to turn away a child in need because of a lack of funds. This year is the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Dickens, who unlike many of his contemporaries was not a Freemason. However, two of his brothers were and following their deaths we were able to support their children when the families fell on Hard Times ; today, our work is just as important. As you will read in this brochure we currently support almost 2,000 children of the Masonic family in addition to many without a Masonic connection. I have every confidence that Nottinghamshire Freemasons, ably led by our Provincial Grand Master, will once again demonstrate their legendary generosity in this Festival Appeal. I know that raising funds for charity is rarely easy, especially in this stretching economic climate, so please help by making your commitment early, using Gift Aid, and encouraging others to do the same. On behalf of our Council, staff and more importantly on behalf of thousands of disadvantaged children who never had half the chances in life that most of us have had, I thank you for supporting our life-changing work and for supporting the 2018 Festival Appeal. Mike Woodcock President, RMTGB 3
4 Relieving poverty, advancing education Who do we help? We aim to relieve poverty and advance the education of children and grandchildren of Freemasons who have suffered a distress; a life-changing event such as the death of one or both parents, family breakdown, redundancy or disability of a parent, which has resulted in financial hardship. We can also help children and young people from Masonic families with severe disabilities. The vast majority of our beneficiaries live at home and attend their local state school. Supporting families in need Enabling life-changing opportunities Luke: realising potential How do we help them? Our assistance is always focussed on the child and is tailored to meet their specific needs. Support is provided in the form of a package of financial grants which usually consists of regular maintenance allowances or other grants for specific items such as computers, school uniforms and the cost of music or sports lessons. Older children can also receive grants to support apprenticeships, higher or further education or to pursue other life-changing opportunities. In addition to our financial support, each family receives a visit from one of our Welfare Advisers in order to ensure that they are also receiving the state benefits to which they are entitled and are able to access other services which may assist them such as counselling, family therapy and education or careers guidance. The impact of our support The financial and welfare support we provide to children and young people aims to reduce the impact of the tragedy and hardship they have experienced, often from a very early age. Our support aims to enable higher academic attainment, improved standards of day-to-day living as well as better life and employment prospects. Currently almost 2,000 Masonic children and young people are benefitting at a total cost of around 9m each year. Supporting exceptional talent Our TalentAid scheme helps children and young people who are exceptionally gifted in music, sport or the performing arts. The scheme assists families that are unable to provide the financial support necessary for their child to pursue a career in one of these fields. Through the scheme we award grants to assist with costs such as professional sports coaching, advanced music lessons and the purchase of one-off items such as a musical instrument or sports equipment. Luke (pictured above) has benefited from our TalentAid scheme since he was 16 years old. He is now a multiple cyclo-cross champion, winning several national competitions. He is currently aiming for a place in the 2016 Olympics. 4
5 Ewan Ewan, aged seven, is the son of a Freemason. He had a brain hemorrhage shortly after birth which has left him with mobility problems. Since 2009 we have provided a regular maintenance allowance to enable his family to support his welfare and assist with other costs to make his childhood more enjoyable. 5
6 Supporting other young people After discharging our duty to Masonic beneficiaries we are able, when funds permit, to consider helping non-masonic children. We currently support over 7,000 non-masonic children in three ways: Stepping Stones Freemasons supporting young people 6 Stepping Stones is a grant-making scheme which aims to help break the link between poverty and the lack of access to education. Through the scheme, we provide grants to charities and programmes working to alleviate poverty and improve educational outcomes for children and young people who face financial hardship and are educationally disadvantaged. Grants allow charities to offer children and young people like Thomas (opposite) a brighter start to life and a better chance to succeed with their education. 4.2m has been spent supporting non-masonic causes over the last five years Supporting choristers Lifelites technology in action Lifelites (Registered Charity No ) is the only charity in the UK that provides cutting-edge computer technology packages for children and young people in children s hospices. The packages allow the children and their families, whose lives are punctuated by hospice visits, to access the latest inclusive educational and fun computer and gaming technology. Originally founded as our millennium project, Lifelites became a charity in its own right in 2006, providing it with the opportunity to raise funds from Freemasons and other sources. We continue to support Lifelites through the provision of office premises and accountancy services to help keep their overheads to a minimum, but we no longer provide any financial support or grants to fund its charitable work. Choral Bursaries Our Choral Bursary scheme supports choristers at cathedrals and other choral foundations throughout England and Wales. The bursaries enable talented young choristers to join a choir when their families are unable to afford the cost. A bursary may also include support towards music lessons. Recipients do not have to come from a Masonic family and the cathedral or choir school usually nominates a potential candidate.
7 Thomas Thomas is 11 and has cerebral palsy. He cannot walk unaided and uses a wheelchair. In 2011, we awarded a Stepping Stones grant to Motability, a charity which helps disabled young people like Thomas to become more independent. Now that we have a car that takes Thomas s electric wheelchair, I don t know how we ever coped without one, Thomas s mother explains. Our car and adaptations have had the biggest positive impact on our ability to live our lives more easily than any kind of help we have had before. Your generosity through the 2018 Festival Appeal will allow us to support many more children like Thomas. 7

Blaze Blaze is 11 years old. His father left the family home shortly after he was born. In 2010, he was awarded a full scholarship by a prestigious performing arts school. This was a wonderful opportunity that was too good to turn down, but because his mother was unable to work due to ill health, she could not afford the additional costs, including his daily travel and school uniform. We provided the extra support needed to cover these costs, ensuring that Blaze could take advantage of the scholarship he had been offered. 11
