Pembrokeshire Freemasons make donation to autism charity
The Pembrokeshire branch was nominated by Tony Upham, master of Tenby Lodge, to receive the proceeds from the lodge's installation raffle, which originally raised £430 before being rounded up to £500.
Tony Upham said: "Tenby Lodge is committed to supporting local good causes so we are delighted to be able to assist N.A.S Pembrokeshire with their projects."
The Pembrokeshire NAS branch has been active for 14 years, supporting families and individuals affected by autism.
With 700 members in its parent group and around 1,500 followers on its Facebook information group, the branch organises a variety of events throughout the year.
Gill Totten, branch treasurer, said: "In August we have a trip planned for around 100 people to Clerkenhill Adventure Farm, including family groups, and a Trainmaster model railway event.
"The cost of organising these events is considerable so we are very grateful to Tenby Lodge for their donation."
The group also runs annual events such as a tenpin bowling days, swimming parties, and festive gatherings including a Meet Santa event and a Christmas meal for parents and carers.
