Two new rooms at RMBI home enable residents to meet their families safely
The Provincial website reported:
The two rooms, which cost £16,000, were jointly funded equally by both the RMBI and the AFAEPWC; the latter receiving generous donations from the Masonic Provinces of South Wales, West Wales and Monmouthshire. The construction contract was awarded by the RMBI to Mitie Ltd, who took three weeks to complete the project.
Phil Aubrey, chair of the AFAEPWC said:
COVID-19 has been devastating, not only within the United Kingdom but worldwide and particularly within the care sector. Our home in Porthcawl is one of eighteen administered by the RMBI and the home managers, in our case Mrs Alison Aberdeen, supported by their respective staff have worked long hours, and in many cases have remained on site foregoing being with their families. They have provided care and affection for all the residents and must be listed alongside the heroes in the NHS and supporting agencies within our communities. This project has enabled facial communication of our residents and their families, thus enabling them to be reunited as they were before COVID-19. My thanks along with those of all my Committee Member goes out to all who have assisted in the project.
We at joinfreemasonry salute both the RMBI and the AFAEPWC for their intelligent collaboration in making a real difference!
