The education of young people in Sussex secondary schools about bereavement and grief, is to move ahead thanks to a grant from the Sussex Masonic Charitable Foundation.
The £16,200 grant award from Sussex Freemasons will allow Project Eileen to progress its plans to introduce the programme to Blatchington Mill School, Brighton & Hove at the start of January and, from the Spring Term, across Brighton & Hove and East and West Sussex.
The ground-breaking multimedia project for UK secondary schools, which aims to increase the bereavement education of young people, and to promote awareness and understanding of the ways in which that loss affects them, has already started with Year 10 pupils at East Grinstead’s Imberhorne School.
It is open to people from all walks of life, regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation or socio-economic position in society.
There’s no complicated method to becoming a Freemason. Simply get in touch with us by completing the enquiry form at the bottom of this page, or by emailing membership@sussexmasons.org.uk directly, and we will contact you. That’s it.
We will put you in touch with a Lodge in your area, or one of our specialist Lodges that matches your particular interest. The members of the Lodge will then make arrangements to meet with you, probably in a relaxed social environment, to talk with you about Freemasonry.
You like what the Lodge has told you and they in turn think that you’re a good fit for their particular Lodge; arrangements are made to initiate you into Freemasonry, joining over 200,000 other Freemasons in England, Wales and overseas Districts. Sorry to disappoint, but most of the rumours about the initiation ceremony are untrue.
Freemasonry is open to people from all walks of life, regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation or socio-economic position in society.
For many, Freemasonry is about making new friends and acquaintances. For others, it’s about being able to help deserving causes and charities. It’s a unique institution with a truly global membership.
Sussex Freemasons support those in need in our Sussex communities, from food banks to Scout groups, from dementia care to hospice support.
