#52Weeks52Charities
.
CWA, or Cheshire Without Abuse is a charity based in Crewe, and has existed for over 40 years to provide emotional, personal and practical support to families affected by domestic abuse, primarily across East Cheshire. This critical support is offered irrespective of gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation and recognises everyone affected by abuse including the abuser, and the wider families involved.
.
Cheshire Freemasons recognised the value of MyCWA, and initially were delighted to support the charity directly, and then indirectly with our national MCF charity in conjunction with the Centre for Social Justice where MyCWA won the prestigious national family award and a huge additional prize donation of £10,000 as detailed yesterday on the Province of Cheshire social media feeds.

Congratulations to My CWA who are the worthy winners of this year’s Centre for Social Justice Family Award, and a £10,000 grant sponsored by the MCF. We are incredibly proud to support their vital work with families affected by domestic abuse in Cheshire.

Avondale Lodge No. 2389 met at Middlewich Masonic

Avondale Lodge No. 2389 met at Middlewich Masonic Hall on Wednesday 9th September, before the new restrictions came into force.
It was a joyous occasion, renewing friendships face to face, rather than on Zoom or by other forms of technology.
The master expressed a hope that everybody was keeping well and for the almoner to be kept informed of any issues that he, or the lodge, could assist with.
.
It was very strange with the face coverings and the social distancing, but the members felt it was good to catch up with each other.
.
There were fifteen in attendance and overall everyone was pleased with how it went and how people have adapted to the restrictions that are in place at present.

#52Weeks52Charities
.
Opal Services ( Older People Active Lives ) is a small charity born in 2011 from a need to support older people when essential services were discontinued by Age Concern.
.
A small group of Cheshire volunteers campaigned to secure funding from Cheshire West and Chester council and were successful – but the fundraising continues, and Cheshire Freemasons were delighted to contribute to this great charity with its origins in the heart of the Province.
.
Please see the video for Opal Services on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/292559410871450/posts/3023543701106327/?vh=e&extid=zXNcxENBlvw8VPkf&d=n

This week will be our 52nd edition of #WednesdayWisdom, where has the last year gone? We conclude with the most famous Freemason many of us in Cheshire are proud to know – our very own Provincial Grand Master of course, Stephen Blank.
.
Firstly, thank you to everyone who has contributed to our Wednesday Wisdom activity and to Jaime Calland who has pulled it together over the past 52 weeks. Thank you all for your kind words about those we featured. This feature will be replaced by a ‘Weekly Wednesday Webcast’ but, before that, some wise words from the Head of Cheshire Freemasons, Stephen Blank.
.
Whilst 2020 will be something of a write-off in terms of meetings, let us look at the positives and plan for the future.
.
We can turn this strange year into a positive, if, we use the rest of 2020 to learn about the Pathway and think carefully about our Lodge’s future. Moreover, if the lodge is losing members, we can think about why, and what can be done.
.
Let us hit 2021 running, whenever things start again properly, with new thinking and renewed determination.
.
Look at your Lodge’s ‘Ins and Outs’ over the last five years. If that ‘Out’ number (excluding those that ascend to the Grand Lodge above) surprises you, why not have a discussion with all lodge members about what can be done going forward. Discussions about the future of your Lodge (Pathway Step 1) could be done with Zoom etc. and our Area and Membership Teams can give ideas if needed.
.
Do you screen potential candidates, so they know what to expect, and do not leave when their expectations are not met (Pathway Step 5)? Have you formed a small interview committee (Pathway Step 6) so your Lodge and potential Candidate get to know each other in a structured manner? When they are in, who thinks about keeping their interest (Steps 8 and 10)? Have you tried to retrieve any members who have left or asked the Provincial Retrieval Officer to help?
.
Let's use 2020 to ensure we all do things better in 2021.

#52Weeks52Charities
.
The Sea Cadets have been in existence since 1856. Offering a range of activities to young people such as sailing, windsurfing, powerboating, rock climbing, camping, music and even aviation. The aim of the charity is life skills, to help young people grow into the person they want to be in a safe and friendly environment by developing teamwork, respect, loyalty, self confidence, commitment, self-discipline and honesty. When the local arm of the Sea Cadets at Bebington asked for a contribution towards the cost of camp beds and sleeping bags, Cheshire Freemasons were able to provide a substantial grant of over £1000 straight away.

Cheshire Young Carers
.
A young carer is defined as a child aged 6-18 who cares for a family member they live with. Cheshire Young Carers helps to give them a childhood in three key areas, school holiday respite programmes, individual and group support and working closely with schools and colleges to provide specialised ongoing support. Cheshire Young Carers is funded principally by private donations, which is why Cheshire Freemasons were delighted to provide funding to help towards the recent objectives of the charity.
