Dear Members,
The resumption of Masonic activities should bring good cheer to many Brethren, however, please think of those who may not feel that they are in a position to return to the Freemasonry that they love so dear, because of an underlying health condition or through fear that they may become ill.
We should all be particularly mindful of these Brethren and ensure that they are not overlooked by our exuberance at returning to our Lodge meetings, and please be careful not to place any undue pressure on any Brother to attend the Lodge, no matter which office they may hold.
Please find attached a factsheet for distribution to all Brethren to highlight the important role that we all play in keeping our Brothers, friends, family and ourselves in a good mental state. This contains useful information on the signs that someone may be suffering from a mental health issue and guidance on what you can do to help them.
As ever, if anyone needs further or specific help my team and I are on hand to help you, and your Almoner through these very trying times, all our contact details are on the attached factsheet.
Yours Sincerely & Fraternally,
Neil A. Moakes
