Oxfordshire/England - Freemasons' Service Values Shine Through Heartwarming Initiative for Hospitalized Children
The Oxfordshire Freemasons are set to showcase their Teddies for Loving Care (TLC) program at the Bicester Market on Friday, April 26, 2024. This noble initiative, funded entirely by the Freemasons themselves, provides over 6,000 specially crafted teddy bears annually to children in local A&E hospitals, aiming to bring comfort and care during challenging times.
Roger Hampshire, the Oxfordshire Freemasons TLC Project Coordinator, emphasized the organization's core value of service, stating, "As Freemasons, we are deeply committed to supporting our community in meaningful ways. The TLC Bears program is a shining example of how we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of those who need it most, particularly young children facing difficult circumstances."
The upcoming showcase at Bicester Market offers the public a unique opportunity to learn more about this heartwarming cause and the Freemasons' unwavering dedication to serving their community. Visitors will have the chance to see the lovingly crafted TLC Bears up close and hear firsthand accounts of the comfort and joy they bring to children in hospitals.
Freemasonry encourages its members to actively support local charities and volunteer groups in need, and the TLC Bears initiative is a testament to this principle. By donating their time and resources, the Oxfordshire Freemasons are making a tangible difference in the lives of countless children and their families during some of their most trying moments.
The Teddies for Loving Care program is just one of the many ways in which Freemasons demonstrate their commitment to service and community support. Through various charitable endeavors and volunteer efforts, they continue to exemplify the values of compassion, generosity, and care for others, which lie at the heart of Freemasonry.
