FREEMASONS in Herefordshire will be thanking key employees on Monday 5th July as part of NHS Social Care and Frontline Workers Day.
Herefordshire Freemasons from across the county will join the day’s celebrations by hoisting flags at their Masonic Centers in Hereford, Leominster, Bromyard, Kington and Hay-on-Wye.

The Masonic Hall on Kyrle Street, Hereford will be the main draw for the county, with the Lord Lieutenant of Herefordshire, High Sheriff of Herefordshire and the Deputy Mayor agreeing to attend and representatives of the NHS, caregivers and auxiliaries who will also be there.
The Freemasons will fly the NHS flag at 10am, followed by the final post and two minutes of silence at 11am.
The event ends with a short socially distant tour of the Masonic Hall for all guests.
The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) is one of the most important supporters of the event alongside the Cadet Forces, English Heritage and the Women’s Institute.
A donation of £ 5 from each flag and length of flag will be shared equally between NHS Charities Together and the National Care Association.
Freemasons have been supporting the NHS since the Covid-19 pandemic began, donating more than £ 2.5 million to the Covid effort to date, volunteering 18.5 million hours each year to help those in need.
The donation will be used to help with food, personal protective equipment (PPE), nutritional supplements for hospitals and hospices, funds for NHS workers and ambulances.
