Risdene Lodge supports Cando Care service users boat trip

Worshipful Brother and Worshipful Master from Rushden's Risdene Lodge Masons called into Cando Cares Day Centre with a cheque for £535 which was raised from a BBQ they held in August.

Kathleen Meredith MD for Cando Care was delighted to receive a cheque from Worshipful Brother and Worshipful Master of Rushden Risdene Lodge Masons, Steve Squires a cheque for £535 when he called into their Day Centre in Irthlingborough.

As in the picture the money took care of mini bus transport to Blisworth to board the Mountbatten Community Crusader boat for a day out along the Blisworth Canal.

It was a day out where the ladies and gentlemen tucked into a nice picnic on board, whilst enjoying the countryside views.

Cando Care MD Kathleen Meredith said '' It was so lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves, and just shows what a difference it makes to them and their families and the importance of donations and fundraisers that we can continue to do such things''.

So many thanks from all those at Risdene Lodge for their support.
