The Long Ashton Youth Club is thrilled to announce the incredible support we have received from the Somerset Freemasons.
Their generous grant of £4,000 is set to make a meaningful impact on the lives of young people in our community by enabling us to continue providing essential services and support in a safe and inclusive environment.
This funding will allow us to address key issues faced by young people growing up in rural North Somerset, such as substance abuse, social media challenges, and identity-related topics. With the Freemasons’ support, we can offer a variety of positive activities and professional guidance aimed at reducing risky behaviours that often emerge during adolescence.
Dr. Phil Jackson, Chairman of the Long Ashton Youth Club, expressed his gratitude, saying:
“We are very grateful to the Somerset Freemasons for their generous grant, which will make a big difference in the lives of the young people we work with. The grant enables us to provide a safe space where young people aged 8 to 19 can socialize, have fun, and develop life skills. With this support, we can continue offering three youth club sessions each week, an after-school drop-in session, and work towards our mission of positively impacting young lives.”
The Somerset Freemasons have a long and proud tradition of supporting meaningful causes that benefit communities across the region. Their commitment to improving lives and providing vital assistance to charities and organizations like ours cannot be overstated. Whether it’s helping youth programs, health initiatives, or local community groups, the Freemasons consistently demonstrate their dedication to making a difference.
Graham Puddy of Somerset Freemasons emphasized their enthusiasm for the partnership, sharing:
“We are very pleased to support the Long Ashton Youth Club and their valuable programs for young people. These services provide crucial social support, giving young people a chance to overcome challenges and build a better future for themselves. It’s a privilege to be part of this important work.”
The Somerset Freemasons truly embody the spirit of generosity and service, ensuring that their contributions go far beyond financial support. They help foster a brighter future for young people and strengthen the bonds within our community.
This partnership demonstrates the excellent community-focused efforts of the Somerset Freemasons, whose longstanding commitment to supporting local causes aligns perfectly with the Youth Club’s mission to foster growth, resilience, and opportunity for young people.
