The latest edition of MSF News is now available to download. They would love to know what you think of it. You could contact them via their website, write a comment on their Facebook page or tweet them on Twitter. The latest issue goes ‘back to basics’ and promotes the medical grants which used to be the only type of grant provided.
24 years after the Fund began, they've granted over £60 million in support of not only medical needs but, dental, mobility, home adaptation, respite, counselling and consultation and assessment needs.
But, without the support from Freemasons and their families, they wouldn’t have any funding to grant to eligible beneficiaries.
You can also help them make their newsletter more relevant, engaging and interesting by telling them:
- What you like and don't like about the newsletter's articles and design.
- If you feel the newsletter clearly outlines what grants are available to you and how you can apply.
I'll look forward to hearing from you and reading your feedback.
Kind regards,
Heather Aitkin
