Weybridge Lodge Charities
Charity sits at the heart of every Freemason and Masonic Lodge and Weybridge 6787 is no different. As a Lodge tens of thousands of pounds are raised both collectively and individual through various channels such as Gala Dinners, raffles, sponsorship and donations. This money is channelled into both local and national charities many of which are personally close to one or more members of the Lodge.
At Weybridge, the expectation of members for charitable commitments is entirely the matter for the individual and their personal circumstances. Donating is never expected to be to the detriment of the member or his family. The involvement and support of the individual in the wider efforts of the Lodge is always the first care.

TLC Appeal Surrey - Teddies For Loving Care
Lodge and Chapter Patron Program - GOLD PATRON
Weybridge 6787 has committed to support TLC for the next 5 years. Alongside other Lodges this will help protect the future of TLC and allow them to continue to provide Bears where they are needed in times of pain and distress for a young child. This year TLC are on track to deliver over 14,000 bears to 10 A&E departments across Surrey, as well as supporting other charities including, I Choose Freedom and the Royal Marsden Children’s Cancer Ward. This is despite a 20% increase in demand for TLC Bears in Surrey and a large increase in the base cost of purchasing the Bears.
Bro. Julien Tidmarsh of Weybridge Lodge is the current secretary for TLC and should any Lodge or Chapter in the Province of Surrey like to have further information on becoming a Patron or have a TLC representative attend one of their meetings, please contact him directly on [email protected]
