Freemasons boost Noah's Ark Appeal by more than £100,000


The Noah's Ark Appeal is a charity dedicated to the establishment and future wellbeing of Wales' first Children's hospital. The appeal has been spectacularly successful and after just five years, the first phase was officially opened on St David's day (1st March) in 2005.

At the second anniversary event in 2007, it was revealed that Masonic sources had contributed in excess of £100,000 to the appeal. The event was held in the learning Room which has recently been equipped with a glittering array of IT equipment courtesy of the Lifelites charity which is closely associated with the Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys.

Provincial Grand Master R. W. Bro. Hywel Davies and V. W. Bro. Peter Frost, the Deputy Provincial Grand Master were in attendance at the celebratory event at the University Hospital of Wales complex in Heath Park Cardiff.
