W.Bro Ian Watson, Treasurer of TLC Essex, was recently attending a social visit to the Chapter of Stedfast Unity in Upminster when the evening took a very welcome turn for the TLC Teddies Appeal.
TLC Essex is incredibly fortunate to have passionate ambassadors who help promote the appeal and raise awareness of the important work we do supporting children in hospitals across the county. One such ambassador is W.Bro Dickie Coyle, who is a member of several lodges and Masonic units meeting at both Chingford and Harlow Masonic Halls.
Saturday 1st November 2025 was a truly memorable occasion for Tollesbury Lodge No. 4738 as the lodge celebrated its Centenary and 844th meeting — a wonderful milestone marking 100 years of Freemasonry in Tollesbury.
TLC Essex is delighted to thank the Board of Directors of Harlow Masonic Hall and their ladies for their generous support of the TLC Teddies Appeal.
