As members of Rowena 3180 Masonic Lodge in Bournemouth, supporting our local community is at the heart of everything we do. We were incredibly proud to recently donate to the Ellis Edwards Foundation, a charity making a real difference to families affected by serious childhood illness across Bournemouth and Dorset.

Why This Charity Matters to Us
Freemasonry is about friendship, integrity, and charity, but when a cause touches the lives of our own members, it becomes even more meaningful.
Several of our brethren have a close personal connection to the Ellis Edwards Foundation, and we’ve seen first-hand the comfort and care the charity provides. Supporting them was something we felt strongly about as a lodge family.
It’s moments like this that remind us what being part of Rowena 3180 is really about, standing together and helping others when they need it most.
The Incredible Work of the Ellis Edwards Foundation
The Ellis Edwards Foundation does truly amazing work supporting families affected by serious childhood illness and loss.
They provide:
Financial support during medical treatment
Emotional help for families facing heartbreaking circumstances
Community awareness around childhood illness
Opportunities for families to create precious memories
Their compassion and dedication make a real difference in people’s lives. Knowing that our donation will help them continue their work means a great deal to all of us.
Supporting Our Local Community
Helping the Ellis Edwards Foundation is just one part of our ongoing commitment to our local area. Over the past year, we’ve been fortunate to support a range of local causes and community projects.
Together, we’ve helped with:
Donations to local schools and youth groups
Support for health-related charities
Assistance for families facing hardship
Contributions to regional community initiatives
We believe strongly in giving back to the community that supports us. Every pound raised, every event organised, and every effort made is done with that goal in mind.
Freemasonry in Action
Being part of Rowena 3180 Masonic Lodge means more than attending meetings, it means working together to make a difference.
Through fundraising evenings, raffles, charity drives, and personal contributions, we try to live up to the values we hold dear. Supporting the Ellis Edwards Foundation reminded us again how powerful community spirit can be.
