Years in Thetford
Giving is built into every meeting at Breckland Lodge. The raffle at every dinner goes to the lodge's Almoner for member welfare, and grants are made to local and national causes through the year.
Below is a record of the organisations we have supported in the 2026-27 season, the people they help, and the difference the giving has made.
From local community projects in Thetford to the national Masonic charity.
Silverthreads is a weekly group running term time for over 65s. There are talks from visiting speakers, daytrips, activities and always a lot of fun and laughter. £5 includes sandwiches and a raffle. To enquire and book please phone Moya Brown 01842 761863 .
Every night and during the day at weekends and Bank Holidays, Norfolk Blood Bikes transport blood, plasma, platelets, samples, vaccines, and any other urgently required medical items to hospitals in Norfolk. We also deliver blood to the East Anglian Air Ambulance which allows them to extend their life saving capability.
Breckland Lodge is proud to support the local Scouts group in Methwold. Scouts supports nearly half a million people each week. It’s a place to be yourself and be part of something.
Thetford Open Gardens is an annual fundraiser for St Nicholas Hospice Care at the end of June. 100% of proceeds go to St Nicholas Hospice and Breckland tries to support them every year through a donation and time spent in the local community
