On Friday, Provincial Grand Master John Smith and his wife Jane, together with Deputy Provincial Grand Master Mark Davis and his wife Yvonne, proudly took part in a special presentation ceremony for North West Blood Bikes.

They were there to hand over a brand-new emergency response vehicle — one of many being delivered across the country thanks to a remarkable £750,000 nationwide grant from the Mark Benevolent Fund.

Also in attendance were representatives from the Provinces of Cheshire and West Lancashire, showing the widespread support and unity among the Masonic community for this vital cause.

The new vehicle will be a valuable addition to the North West Blood Bike fleet, helping volunteers continue their life-saving work by transporting urgently needed blood, medical samples, and supplies between hospitals across the region.

This generous donation highlights the ongoing commitment of the Mark Master Masons to supporting healthcare services and making a real difference in local communities.
