Union Lodge No. 247 ER collaborates with Lions Club of Durban Park to support Uncle Eddie’s Home

Union Lodge No. 247 ER, in collaboration with the Lions Club of Durban Park, continues its support of Uncle Eddie’s Home through ongoing rehabilitation initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life of residents and enhancing the facility’s environment.

As part of this collaborative effort, Union Lodge No. 247 ER recently contributed GYD $500,000 toward rehabilitation works at the Home, with the funds specifically supporting the construction of a gazebo designed to create a safe and comfortable outdoor space for residents. The space will provide an area where residents can enjoy fresh air, socialize, and participate in activities that promote wellbeing and community interaction.

Master Robert Hiscock, together with Past Master Gerald Burch-Smith, formally presented the contribution to President Carole James Boston, SC, on behalf of the Lions Club of Durban Park, reaffirming the shared commitment of both organizations to supporting the important work being carried out at Uncle Eddie’s Home.

Uncle Eddie’s Home continues to provide vital care and support to its residents and relies heavily on the collective efforts of individuals, organizations, and the wider community to sustain and enhance the services it provides. Partnerships such as this between Union Lodge No. 247 ER and the Lions Club of Durban Park play an important role in improving both the physical environment and overall wellbeing of those under its care.

Charity has long been regarded as one of the core principles of Freemasonry, reflecting a commitment to service, compassion, and the relief of those in need. Through initiatives such as these, Union Lodge No. 247 ER continues to uphold these values by extending support beyond the walls of the Lodge and contributing meaningfully to the wider community.

In addition to the financial contribution, the brethren of Union Lodge No. 247 ER have also committed their time and support toward the broader initiative, reinforcing the Lodge’s dedication to service, charity, and community development (Press release)
