Voices from the Community

Stories of impact from people whose lives have been touched by the Masonic Charities.

"Sheila Ward, the Project Co-ordinator for the Deal area Foodbank, writes: 'We were extremely grateful to receive this grant of £500 from the Cornwallis East Kent Freemasons Charity. I am happy to detail how it is spent. I am always happy to come and talk to groups if that would be helpful.'

– Deal Area Foodbank

"Beverley Callaghan, Trusts and Foundations Fundraiser, said: 'We are most grateful to the East Kent Freemasons’ Charity for their generous support of our work. Whilst many symptoms of MS are physical, the condition can take its toll on people’s mental health as well, and that’s why our specialist MS counselling service is so important.'

– The Kent MS Therapy Centre

"We're very grateful to the East Kent Freemasons for agreeing to fund our project over the next two years. This grant of £50,000 will enable us to deliver our "Bridging the gap" project to improve health inequalities for children by breaking the poverty trap'."

– Ian Townsend-Blazier Head of Development at Children & Families

Who have we supported?

Here are some of the organisations that we have supported.

Choose Your Challenge

Or Make an Impact Without Breaking a Sweat!

🏅 Half Marathon (21K) – For the Fearless
Test your limits on our scenic 6-lap course! Perfect for runners who love a challenge.

🔥 10K – The Sweet Spot
Two laps of our beautiful 5K route – enough to feel accomplished but still save energy for the post-run celebrations. Ideal for first-timers and seasoned runners alike!

🌿 5K – For the Fun-Runners
One glorious lap through Bettshanger's stunning landscape. Walk, jog, or sprint – this is your chance to enjoy the event at your own pace.

👨👩👧👦 2K Family Fun Run – Memories in the Making
Bring the whole crew! Kids, grandparents, and even the family dog (on a lead) are welcome. Fancy dress strongly encouraged!

😎 Do you want to raise funds for a charity of your choice?
No problem – just register below, pay the registration fee, and raise money for your chosen charity by sponsorship or through an online fundraising page.
You can even wear fancy dress if you like – remember, safety first!

💛Can't Run? Support Our Cause Anyway!

Not everyone can hit the trails (bad knees, busy schedules, or maybe you're just too good at relaxing).
By making a donation instead you'll receive:

A personalised e-certificate recognising your generosity
The warm glow of knowing you've changed lives
Our eternal gratitude and thanks

Every pound raised goes directly to support local East Kent Charities & the Masonic Charitable Foundation Charity No 1164703.
Now that's a different kind of personal best!
