NHS Receives Support As A Form Of Thanks From Northumberland Freemasons

Northumberland Freemasons have pledged their support to the NHS by sponsoring a special variety show to say thank you to NHS, Social Care and Frontline Workers.

Masons throughout England and Wales are leading the worlds ‘first’ celebration of NHS, Social Care and Frontline Workers Day on 5 July 2021 and here in the North East, Northumberland Freemasons are getting behind a variety show at the Tyne Theatre and Opera House which will close the day’s celebrations.

The unique and special day is dedicated to the NHS, Social Care and those that work on the frontline – workers who have saved so many lives during the pandemic and it’s also to remember those workers who lost their lives helping others.
