National learning disability charity HFT has received £30,000 from The Freemasons’ Grand Charity to fund its Carer Support Service. This is the first instalment of a £60,000 donation pledged to HFT by the Freemasons over a two year period.
Laura Chapman, chief executive of the Freemasons’ Grand Charity, said: “The Grand Charity has supported HFT for over 20 years and has been very impressed by the quality of care and services provided by HFT.”
Last year the charity secured financial backing of £250,000 over a three year period (2004-2007) for the project from The Big Lottery Community Fund.
