Michael Speight from the Freemasons said: “I’m very pleased we’ve been able to support Bluebell Wood. They do outstanding work with families facing the toughest of times, both at their hospice in North Anston and in family homes across the region.

Julie Booth, Trust and Legacy Fundraiser, Bluebell Wood said: “We’re very grateful to the Freemasons for their generous grant, which will help our families to make special memories, whether they have days, months or years left together. Every penny raised helps us offer the services that families need, from music therapy and sibling support to home visits and end of life treatment and care.”
