Freemasons donate laptops for Cumbrian pupils in £30,000 project
Primary school children in Cumbria will receive 115 laptops donated by members of the Freemasons.
The computers have been donated by the Provincial Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of Cumberland & Westmorland, who raised £30,000 to fund the project.
Ken Archer sought funding from the Worthy Causes Committee of the Mark Grand Lodge Benevolent Fund and the Provincial Mark Benevolent Fund.
With this money, 115 laptops have now been purchased for the benefit of primary education within the province, which covers the Scottish border to Milnthorpe and Millom in the south, and from Alston, Kirkby Stephen and Kirkby Lonsdale in the east and over to the west coast.
