TREEEEMENDOUS Work

Last weekend as part of our continuous Freemasonry In The Community initiative and bedrock of what we do, several brethren from across the province attended 2 locations - Aylesbury & Bletchley to collect & recycle Christmas trees for a small fee.  That small fee would then be donated in full to the two local hospices -    &   

Long days both Saturday & Sunday in the cold saw hundreds of trees collected, stacked then loaded for disposal.

Christmas Day Lunch at St Mary's Church, Aylesbury

Each year, St. Mary's Church in Aylesbury hosts Christmas Day lunch for the homeless and lonely in the area.  Working alongside Aylesbury Foodbank a bumper meal is provided, warmth and most importantly a sense of belonging.  Bringing people, many of which are strangers, together.

It was a very humbling Christmas Day experience for Bro Vito Lannelli and Peter Marks to witness first hand while assisting in serving & helping so many dedicated volunteers providing a hot Christmas lunch - A big thank you to Aylesbury food bank and so many local businesses for the tremendous support for this annual luncheon

This year, the Fruit & vegetables were sponsored by one specific masonic lodge - New Urban, with a lovely charity discount applied by Tooty Fruity.

At this special time of year, Steph and I would like to wish every one of you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Peaceful New Year.

Christmas gives us a welcome opportunity to pause and reflect on the year that is drawing to a close. As I look back on 2025, I do so with a great sense of pride in what we, as Buckinghamshire Freemasons, have achieved together. Across the Province, you continue to show the very best of Freemasonry, supporting our communities, giving your time freely, and being there for those who need help when it matters most. It is important that we are seen doing this amazing work, not for praise, but because it reflects and shows society who we are and what we stand for.

During the festive period, I would also ask you to keep in mind those who are less fortunate than ourselves. For some, Christmas can be a lonely and difficult time, whether they are spending it alone, facing hardship, or simply in need of a little extra support. A phone call, a message, or a brief visit can make a real difference and is very much in keeping with the care and kindness we aim to show.

I would like to thank you all for making 2025 such an enjoyable year. Your commitment and friendship makes this Province a pleasure to serve, and I hope the New Year ahead brings renewed enjoyment in your Freemasonry journey and happiness in your personal lives.

Steph and I send our very best wishes to you all. Enjoy the Christmas season, and I look forward to seeing you in the New Year.

With warmest regards,
Tim and Steph
