£500 donation to Moorlands Voluntary Community Transport in Leek.

This evening (Wednesday 29th April) members of St. Edward’s Lodge number 966 in Leek were pleased to welcome Sally Bentley the Chief Officer of the Moorlands Voluntary Community Transport charity to Leek Masonic Hall where she was presented with a cheque for £500 from the Lodge by Charles McKenzie the Worshipful Master.

Sally explained the fantastic work the charity does with its volunteer drivers, offering both a Voluntary Transport Scheme and a Community Transport Scheme. The Voluntary Transport Scheme uses private cars to offer transport to those in need. The Community Transport Scheme is ideal for groups looking for minibus transport. It is not a taxi service but can take those needing assistance to appointments like the doctor or hospital.

Sally also received a tour of the Masonic Hall.
