Supporting CRY

FROM THE LODGE ARCHIVE · DECEMBER 2024

Philanthropic Lodge No. 304’s December 2024 report records £403.78 raised for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), in addition to the lodge’s contribution to Provincial charity.

Why the lodge chose CRY

During his year as Worshipful Master, Ian Robertson learned of the sudden death of a friend’s teenage son. The family’s wish to raise awareness of CRY’s work influenced his decision to choose the charity for the lodge’s support that year.

The choice gave members a specific cause to support alongside their wider charitable commitments. Our original record says that the £403.78 was sent to the local CRY organiser.

Understanding the contribution

The amount here is the additional sum recorded for CRY. The original article does not give the amount of the separate Provincial contribution, so we have not added one or combined the two.

For current information about CRY’s work and its services, visit Cardiac Risk in the Young’s official website. This lodge report records our fundraising; questions about screening or health should be directed to the charity or an appropriate healthcare professional.

Charity within lodge life

Our reports show how members have supported different causes over time, from Battle Scars in Leeds to practice facilities at Settle Cricket Club. They provide examples of the charitable activity discussed in our membership guide.
