A group of Freemasons have stepped in to help a Bucks blindness charity with a generous donation.

Amersham Lodge donated £1,000 to the Wycombe division of Bucks Vision, a visual impairment charity which supports people who suffer with blindness in Wycombe and the surrounding villages.

Downley resident and Freemason, Joe Bowler, who suffers with blindness himself, asked his Lodge to donate some much-needed cash to the volunteer group.

Dr Richard Waterfield presented the cheque to the charity’s social secretary Barbara Rippington, alongside Mr Bowler and fellow Lodge member Peter Kemp.   

Bucks Vision urgently need more volunteer drivers to transport members to social, craft and bowls clubs. Visit www.bucksvision.co.uk/Volunteering for more information or call 01296 487 556 or email reception@bucksvision.co.uk to help.
