The Armed Forces Day on Plymouth Hoe was the perfect backdrop for the presentation of a charitable cheque from the Mark Benevolent Fund to the Devon Blood Bikes charity. The cheque was presented to assist them in purchasing a new resource for their organisation.

Very Worshipful brother John P. Clendinning, the Deputy Provincial Grand Master, was delighted to present the cheque from the MBF to Mark Anstis, who is the team leader of West Devon Branch of the Blood Bikes. The cheque for the sum of £18,289.00, will enable them to purchase a new BMW 1200cc motorcycle.

  

This bike will then be seen out and about providing a free out of hours transport service for essential medical supplies such as blood, plasma, platelets and pathology samples to hospitals and hospices throughout Devon and beyond.

The MBF have made a total grant to the Blood Bike charity of £750,000, which has been spread throughout the country. This is a wonderful example of the work the MBF do for all Mark Masons and their communities, not only locally in Devonshire, but also around the country.
