ONLY FOOLS and Horses star Sue Holderness visited Thames Hospice last week to accept a donation from Berkshire’s masons.

A trio from the organisation have £8,000 worth of gifts to the palliative care centre just outside Maidenhead.

Michael Saunders, the deputy provincial grand master and chair of the Berkshire Mark Benevolent Fund gave £5,000 in memory of the Duke of Edinburgh, while the remaining £3,000 was given by the Berkshire Mark Benevolent Association as a sign of its commitment to fundraise for the hospice over the next three years.

Joining the presentation was Raymond Head, the vice chairman of the association, and treasurer Brian McCormack.

Mr Sanders said: “The work and support given by the staff of Thames Hospice is invaluable and the members of Berkshire Mark Masonry are delighted to be able to support a superb facility.”

And Lisa Church, director of clinical services at Thames Hospice, said: “I cannot thank the three Masonic Brethren enough for their generous donations and ongoing support. These donations will make a real difference to the care and support we provide to patients and their families.”
