Mark Master Masons Donate £11,000 to Scarborough's Saint Catherine’s Hospice

Staff and volunteers at St Catherine’s Hospice in Scarborough are celebrating receipt of a grant from the Mark Master Masons of North and East Yorkshire wholly funded by its charity, the Mark Benevolent Fund.

The donation, which is part of a Major Capital Grant of £1.3m to over 250 hospices in England, Wales, Channel Islands and Isle of Man, recognises the contribution made by HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh to the service of the Crown and the life of the nation.

Paul Barham, the Assistant Provincial Grand Master for North and East Yorkshire said,

"We are absolutely delighted that the members of the Province have chosen to support St Catherine’s Hospice. We are all aware of the toll that the pandemic has taken on charities across the country and hope that this small gift will go some way to help enhance patient care and provide improved facilities for those in need and their families.”

Susan Stephenson of Saint Catherine’s Hospice, welcomed the donation saying:

“We would like to say a huge thank you to the Mark Master Masons for this generous donation which will go towards making sure our patients and loved ones are cared for in their time of need. We can only do what we do with the help and support of our local communities, so thank you to everyone who has made this gift possible.”

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
