Suffolk Mind 1

Further to the East Anglian Mark Benevolent Association awarding a total of £15,000 to the mental health charity Mind across our Province, Suffolk Mind received their £5,000 share from Provincial Grand Master David Boswell.

Across East Anglia, Mind offers an extensive range of mental health services, along with associated training, advice and information. Each grant of £5,000 will make a big difference and can fund the work of the charity in many ways, including:

Fully funded mental health training for two entire primary schools including teachers and staff, with further positive impacts on the surrounding families
91 fully funded counselling sessions. Typically, the average person will require six sessions, so this could be a fully funded course of counselling for 15 people
The running of their vital phone line for 200 hours

This is another example of how personal and lodge donations to the EAMBA supports local charities in our communities.

Funding Application: Charitable Donations

The EAMBA Trustees have taken the step of revisiting the way applications are made to the charity for funding.

Going forward, the “Match Funding” and “Grant” application forms have been combined into one new form, which is titled “Funding Application – Charitable Donations.” It is downloadable via the button above.

It is hoped that the simpler way of applying for funding will increase the number of requests received. The guidance notes have also been revised, and lodges should read this section of the form to ensure their application meets the criteria.

The Trustees are aware that many charities and funding bodies within the Province are struggling to meet their goals and needs of their users. It is without doubt that these organisations will require some support, therefore brethren are requested to think about the needs of their local community and consider an application to the EAMBA for support.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Trevor Tinley, the EAMBA Secretary, by emailing eamba@eastangliamark.org.uk
