A WOKINGHAM charity has received a generous grant which will go towards vital services over three years.

The Me2 Club, an inclusion charity with supports children and young people with additional needs and disabilities, was given £9,000 by Berkshire Freemasons,

Liz McDaniel, senior fundraising development co-ordinator for Me2 Club, said: “This funding comes at a really challenging time for us. 

“We have growing waiting lists and increasing demands for our services. 

“That this grant is spread across 3 years enables us to develop our plans with greater certainty.”

The charity currently supports around 100 children and teenagers.

Ms McDaniel added: “This money from the Freemasons of Berkshire will help us to recruit and train the volunteers to turn this into a reality.” 

The Provincial Grand Master for Berkshire, Anthony Howlett-Bolton OBE, said: “We are delighted that Me2 Club will now be enabled to secure and even expand, their work across Wokingham and Reading. 

“Freemasonry actively supports Charities such as Me2 Club, for people who live in our communities and sometimes need that helping hand, that only a specialist Charity can give.”
