OUT” FOR CENTREPOINT W. Bro Tim Spriggs, LGR, was one of five MetGStwds who “slept out” for Centrepoint and he reports for arena as follows:


METGSTWDS “SLEEP


The Metropolitan Grand Stewards who "slept out".


O


n the 6th of November, five members of the Metropolitan


Grand Stewards Lodge No. 9812 participated in Centrepoint’s 'Sleep Out London' Event 2014. W. Bros Steve Banks, LGR; Harlan Lunn, LGR; Steve Savvas, LGR; David Siebler, LGR; and Tim Spriggs, LGR, were appointed as Metropolitan Grand Stewards in 2012 and have remained in close contact even after their Active year in that office. At a social event they organized


back in February, they discussed the idea of trying to do something for charity, and after a few discussions, decided on participating in the Centrepoint 'Sleep Out' Event. Centrepoint is a charity which supports homeless young people with housing, health and learning and which has been well supported


the Freemasons' Grand Charity. The event saw the five sleeping out in London’s East End on a cold and wet night (after some of them had assisted at the LGR/LR Investiture meeting earlier in the day!) in order to try and raise some money to support this worthy cause. Whilst they were not exposed to the full challenges that many homeless young people face on a daily basis, the intention of the event was to raise awareness of the situation in which many young people find themselves and which may lead to them making bad decisions, which in turn can have more dire


consequences. The team's participation in this


event is a great example of the positive impact London Masons can have in supporting the community in London. When all the money has been collected, the team hopes to have raised around £8,000 for Centrepoint.
