Newark Hospital - Minor Injuries Unit or Casualty?
For many years Newark Hospital had a Casualty Department that was the envy of many larger hospitals but earlier this year despite a valiant campaign, by locals and some further afield, the department was downgraded to a ‘Minor Injuries department.’ This caused the management some concern regarding the level of service that the unit would be able to provide into the future and raised questions as to whether TLC bears would still be needed at Newark.

MENCAP - Mansfield Charity Stewards Comittee.
If you had a chance to read the article “Passing on Hope”, then an appreciation of the work quietly accomplished by Mansfield Charity Stewards Committee can be gleaned. Their collective efforts outside of their own Lodges, is truly outstanding. They focus is on the less fortunate strictly in there own neighbourhood, charities that in general, the rest of us would not know about or perhaps consider worthy. Every year for some twenty years, year on year, they have generated around £5k for such local causes. So to tell you this enables me to explain how the Provincial Charity and this Masonic Center have become partners.
Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together? For Passing on Hope this exactly what happened!
