Easter Surprises from Middleton Manor

Like many of us, Middleton Manor Lodge No.6337 in Sittingbourne are always looking for ways to offer support to local Charities during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

With Easter approaching, they set their sights on the Swale Community and Voluntary Services (SCVS) Befriending Scheme, which offers support and friendship to people who are housebound or lonely. The charity had had to curtail its usual activities because of the Pandemic. Lodge Charity Steward Tony Lawless contacted the Scheme’s Co-ordinator and said that Middleton Manor would be happy to purchase and deliver Easter Eggs and Cards to members of the Befriending Scheme.

As a result, on Thursday 1st April 2021 five Lodge volunteers in conjunction with SCVS delivered some fifty eggs and cards to people throughout Swale.
