Freemasons Give £60,000 to Help Children Affected by Domestic Abuse

The Berkshire Freemasons have awarded a £60,000 grant to a domestic abuse charity to provide specialist support for children affected by domestic abuse. The grant, announced this week, will enable the charity to expand its services for young victims in Berkshire.

The funding comes amid growing demand for domestic abuse support services, particularly for children who witness or experience abuse. The charity, which has not been named, provides specialist counseling and intervention programs. A spokesperson for the Berkshire Freemasons said the grant reflects their commitment to supporting vulnerable members of the community.

This grant is part of a broader effort by Freemasonry to fund local charities and address social issues. It is expected to have a significant impact on the lives of children affected by domestic abuse in the region, providing them with essential support and resources to recover and thrive.
