"Hope for Tomorrow" Charity to mark the MBF's forthcoming Sesquicentenary in 2018
Founded by Christine Mills in 2003, this Charity works to provide Mobile Chemotherapy Units, there by reducing waiting times for patients to receive treatment and making their lives a little easier by reducing the travel distances involved.
"Bringing Cancer Treatment Closer to Home"
The MBF President's letter announces the MBF's hope to provide up to 10 new Vehicles over the next 5 years.

List of the Mark and RAM Lodges in the Province and the Masonic Centres where they meet (with links to detailed location maps)
A general map highlighting the Masonic Centres around our Province (clicking on the masonic centre icon of interest brings up a photo of that Masonic Hall)
I extend a warm welcome to you, whether you are a member of Craft Masonry, Mark Masonry, or perhaps just a visitor with a passing interest - in any case I trust that you will find our pages of interest.
Our Province of "Northants & Hunts" is a relatively new one, constituted only in 1985, having been split from the former Province of Northampton, Huntingdon and Bedford, which had existed from 1894.
We have a membership of just over 600 in the Mark Degree and within the two Orders under my jurisdiction, there are 16 Mark Lodges and 13 Royal Ark Mariner Lodges.
RWBro George Bonham Provincial Grand Master.
