Middlesex Freemasonry has continued its commitment to supporting local healthcare with a generous £10,000 donation to Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals’ Charity, helping bring pioneering prostate treatment technology to patients across the region.
The donation, made through the Middlesex Festival fundraising activities, will support the charity’s £131,000 appeal to purchase the PROCEPT AquaBeam System, an advanced piece of medical equipment that uses innovative water-jet technology to treat men suffering from enlarged prostates.
Known as Aquablation therapy, this minimally invasive procedure offers a more precise approach to treatment, helping patients recover more quickly, reducing the need for lengthy hospital stays and potentially allowing them to return home after just one day.
The £10,000 contribution has provided a welcome boost to the fundraising campaign, bringing the charity to an impressive 78% of its overall target.
To mark the occasion, representatives of Middlesex Freemasonry gathered outside the main entrance of St Peter’s Hospital to formally present the cheque. They were joined by representatives of the hospital charity, who expressed their sincere appreciation for the generosity and continued support of Middlesex Freemasons.
But the Province’s support for local healthcare may not end there. Discussions are already taking place about the possibility of providing further assistance to the hospital’s orthopaedics department, potentially opening another chapter in this valuable relationship.
Making a Difference Where It Matters
From supporting innovative medical treatments to helping local charities and community organisations, Middlesex Freemasons continue to demonstrate how their fundraising efforts can make a real and lasting difference.
This latest donation is another example of Freemasonry’s commitment to supporting the communities in which its members live and work, helping hospitals deliver better care and improve the lives of patients and their families.
A £10,000 donation today could help transform the treatment and recovery of patients for years to come.
