40th anniversary for Devonshire Court
The anniversary event was also a great opportunity to celebrate the successful redevelopment in the Home. This year has seen the completion of a new spacious Reception Area for residents, as well as eight new bedrooms. Home Manager Beverley Bethell, continued, “The new reception area is a welcome addition. The residents enjoy the bright, open area and it’s become the hub of the home, where they sit and chat with each other or listen to music.” Pictured left: RMBI Chief Executive Peter Gray and resident Mrs Aldridge cut the cake.
Legacy The RMBI is always grateful for the bequests it receives, but we must give special thanks to Mrs Doris Sarginson, for her unexpected and generous bequest of £1.67m. This gift is to be recognised by a new wing at one of our Homes. It does not matter how small or large a bequest is as all gifts enable us to plan for future activities and secure the charity's future. Any size of legacy gift would be most welcome and really will make a difference. For more information on how you can help, click here or contact our Fundraising team on 020 7596 2400.

by the Queen Mother in November 1966 (pictured right), Devonshire Court,
in Oadby, Leicestershire, has been providing high quality care for older Freemasons and their
dependants for 40 years, and the staff and residents celebrated this
special milestone in style.
Devonshire
Court’s Home Manager, Beverley Bethell, said, “The anniversary created a
buzz in the Home and residents enjoyed a whole week bursting with extra
activities. With so much going on, they had to pace themselves!”
Anniversary celebrations at the Home culminated with a fireworks party
for residents at the end of the week.
