Sandon Group Chairman W.Bro. John Wreyford accompanied by the Group Secretary W.Bro. Andy Whittle recently attended at the St Helens Sea Cadet Unit TS Scimitar to present them with two cheques to cover the cost of an electrical safety audit. The audit was required in order for the unit to remain open and continue with its important work with young people. The Sea Cadets are a registered charity and each unit relies heavily on fund raising and donations for its continued existence.

The Sandon Group helped the unit to apply for a grant from the West Lancashire Freemasons’ Charity who kindly gave them a donation of £1,500. The Sandon Group added a further £500 from its group funds to bring the total donation to £2,000.
