Double Donation Tops Roly’s Year

On a cold and dreary January morning, Roly Hockenhull and John Jappy, braved the weather to present donations on behalf of Gilbert Inglefield Lodge No 8009. The beneficiaries were the Bedford Primrose Car Service and the Above and Beyond Cancer Foundation.

Charitable donations for the year having been earmarked for the MCF and the Bedfordshire 2026 Festival, the Brethren of the Lodge held several special events for these important charities including a Lodge BBQ and the Ladies Weekend to York last October.

With charity at the very core of our fraternity and these organisations both having a special place in his heart, Roly was delighted that the Lodge was able to contribute to the important role they play in supporting cancer patients throughout the county.
