During the Tercentenary Hall Open Day at Runcorn on Saturday 24th June 2017, Ellesmere Lodge, No: 758 took the opportunity to present two cheques to local deserving Charities.

In the first photograph, W.Bro Gary Oates, IPM Ellesmere Lodge, can be seen presenting a cheque for £400.00 to Ashley Dodd, Community Fundraiser for Cheshire & Wirral, Alzheimers Society.
Photograph two shows W.Bro Gary Oates, IPM Ellesmere Lodge, presenting a cheque for £400.00 to Dan Phillips, North West Regional Fundraiser for Stroke Association.
During his year in the Chair, W.Bro. Gary lost his father, so both presentations have a strong personal meaning to him.
