Surrey Freemasons have delivered free face visors to The Meath and Farncombe Day Centre.

The group has supported charities across the county since the pandemic struck, and last week members visited the two Farncombe and Godalming groups to deliver the PPE.

Tania Cantoni, head of fundraising and communications at The Meath, wrote to the Surrey Freemasons charity team to thank them for delivering 800 visors.

She said: "We are so grateful to you for your continuing support, especially in these challenging times. They are proving incredibly useful and we are finding them more comfortable to wear than the surgical masks."

The donation comes in the wake of a cash donation of £4,000 from the Freemasons to help pay for some of the damage caused by thieves who broke into the grounds of The Meath and stole several cars and damaged the centre's minibuses in March.

Surrey Freemasons have now delivered nearly 4,000 PPE face visors to charities across Surrey, including Godalming and Villages Community Store, The Clockhouse Day Centre, Elstead Food Bank, Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice and hospice shops, and The Welcome Project.

A spokesman said: "Surrey Freemasons are one of many local community groups reaching out to help and are proud of the extensive charitable work being done by lodges and members across Surrey.

"The Godalming Masonic Hall is located opposite 'The Inn On The Lake' public house and restaurant, and is home to 10 different Masonic Lodges or 'groups', all trying to help those who are less fortunate in these difficult and challenging times."
