If the Covid pandemic has taught us anything, it is the importance of social interaction. Being able to visit friends & families is something we once took for granted but may now treasure.

This has been especially true in Masonic circles where visiting other Lodges is an important component of life and is often the only opportunity for elderly brethren to meet others and socialise.

The impact on the mental and physical wellbeing of us all has been huge and in recognition of this, Lodge St Leonard (https://www.facebook.com/Lodge580) has persuaded a group of Midlothian Masons to undertake a relay walk to visit every Lodge in the province - a total of 15 sites and almost 70 miles - in order to raise funds for SAMH - the Scottish Association for Mental Health (https://www.samh.org.uk/)

Please give what you can and thank you in advance for your support.
