On Saturday 21st March Tim Nelson and his team of volunteers started phase 1b of the garden renovation
project they have undertaken in Ecclesholme, run by the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution (RMBI).
The weather was perfect and everyone seemed to enjoy the team effort and the purpose of selfishly helping improve the lives of others.

Progressing well
Inspecting the work and decide the next steps.
Tea break over and back to work.
Finally the ground has been further smoothed and prepared for the hands of the more expert gardeners or Phase2 Planting Stage.
We will be communicating the next stage and will be looking for brethren to donate shrubs from their gardens and will appreciate some of the elder brethren joining us on the day to provide us with their gardening wisdom.
A joint initiative triggered by Area 3 Master Masons Forum, supported by the Rough Ashlar Club, John Brunner Lodge, wanting to give something back to eldest of our community.
Please contact Bro Tim Nelson tim.nelson@royal-London.co.uk for more information.
Ecclesholme
The home, which is situated in Eccles and is run by the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution (RMBI) which has benefited from earlier help by Freemasons from Cheshire who gave their time and energy for Phase1 in clearing overgrown areas of the home’s garden.
