A very proud , and well deserved day for everyone involved

Roger is currently the Chair of Teddies for Loving Care (Notts), a Masonic Charity that supports more and more children (and now adults) in times of need and UK wide the 4 Millionth Bear has just been presented

Just in Nottinghamshire , we donated bears last year to the tune of £18000 and since Roger took over that total is rising quickly.

TLC is funded by Masonic donations only

Congratulations Roger
