  88. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brethren from the South Circular attended St. Christopher Lodge at the Botley centre on Monday 25th March 2024, to witness the Lodge&#8217;s newest Candidate taken through the Ceremony of Initiation. </p>
  89. <p>We were treated to a very good evening of ritual, as well as at the festivities afterward. I am sure it was an evening which will be remembered by the new Brother for the entirety of his Masonic journey, for all of the right reasons. </p>
  90. <p>This visit completed the South Circular&#8217;s visits for March 2024, but don&#8217;t forget to look out for the South Circular&#8217;s next proposed meetings, as advertised, for April and beyond.</p>
  91. <p>Pictured with SCA APGM W.Bro Ian Preece PSGD are Members of the South Circular (including those from St. Christopher Lodge itself.)</p>

  108. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More than 100 disabled children and young people with complex needs will be able to access care in emergency situations thanks to a grant from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Freemasons to Southampton’s Rose Road charity.</p>
  109. <p>The £60,000 grant will fund the charity’s emergency respite care service across Hampshire. This helps families in need of unexpected or additional support that is not included in their standard care funding. This can include after school sessions with Rose Road’s outreach teams, or stays in its 14-bed respite centre, which costs more than £450 a night.</p>
  110. <p>The grant will also fund essential redevelopment of the outdoor space in its respite centre, creating a therapeutic and accessible environment for recreation and relaxation. This will contribute significantly to the physical and mental wellbeing of the disabled young people who regard Rose Road as their ‘home from home’.</p>
  111. <p>The grant from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Freemasons comes through the Masonic Charitable Foundation, which is funded by Freemasons, their families, and friends from across England and Wales.</p>
  112. <p>Chloe Atkins, Head of Fundraising at Rose Road, said: “We’re very grateful to Hampshire Freemasons for their generous grant. “Families with a disabled child often need support that extends beyond the funded hours they receive from statutory organisations, such as during a family bereavement, illness or because of work or other family commitments. Having this funding means we can be there for families when they need us most.” John Pearson, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Freemasons charity lead, said: “I’m really pleased we’ve been able to help Rose Road to provide the urgent help that families with a disabled child so often need. “I’m also very happy that some of this grant will go towards the new garden. Being able to enjoy outdoor spaces is so important, and many who stay at Rose Road often have very limited access to the natural environment.”</p>

  191. <p style="font-weight: 400">Bro Mike Barringer, a member of Lodge of Brevity &amp; Lodge of Economy, is currently &#8216;boarding&#8217; a Cocker Spaniel puppy for the charity ‘Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.   This involves looking after the puppy, named Georgie, for 12-months.</p>
  192. <p style="font-weight: 400">During this time, Mike will not only provide a loving home with a secure garden, additionally, he must provide access to a computer &amp; video calling facilities, which is essential for online training &amp; induction courses.</p>
  193. <p style="font-weight: 400">The programme also requires adequate time to dedicate to training a young dog on a daily basis, plus access to a vehicle for training and emergency purposes.</p>
  194. <p style="font-weight: 400">Following this initial and vital element of the training programme, Georgie will then leave Mike to go on for more specialist training for the job.</p>
  195. <p style="font-weight: 400">Commenting on the role, Mike said: “We have had the dog for seven weeks now, although his stay may be less than 12-months, to fit in with the future training programme. We have known from the start that this is the position &#8211; so we will be sad to see him go, but in the meantime, we are really enjoying his stay with us.</p>
  196. <p style="font-weight: 400">“We currently receive instructions from charity staff on what basic training the dog requires to fit in with the dog&#8217;s future training. The charity supplies everything for you to board the dog, including the dog food so it is not financially stretching.</p>
  197. <p style="font-weight: 400">Mike concluded by saying: “It is a way of helping someone who is less fortunate than yourself, which fits in nicely with our masonic ethos”.</p>
  198. <p style="font-weight: 400">Anyone interested in supporting the charity can obtain more information from the Hearing Dogs for Deaf People website at: <a href="https://www.hearingdogs.org.uk/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.hearingdogs.org.uk/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1710430921867000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2DMlZCVp2E0PraiSxYzgdJ">https://www.hearingdogs.org.uk/</a></p>
