    Charity give £25,000 to science and technology project
    Monday 20 January 2020
    West Lancashire Freemasons have made a donation of £25,000 to support a project at
    Catalyst Science Discovery Centre in Widnes who are currently undergoing an exciting
    programme of regeneration. The project, partially funded by the Wellcome Trust and UKRI will
    not only see the redevelopment of some of the physical spaces within the building but it will
    also enable Catalyst to undertake more local community engagement. The generous donation
    from the West Lancashire Freemasons will fund a brand new interactive exhibit as the ground
    floor, science gallery is completely refurbished.
    Dr Diana Leitch MBE, Chair of Trustees at Catalyst said: “I am delighted that the West
    Lancashire Freemasons have agreed to support Catalyst in such a generous way with this
    donation. Having new interactive exhibits will enhance Catalyst’s educational offer and draw
    new visitors, particularly families. It was particularly pleasing that the Freemasons branch in
    Widnes is involved as Catalyst is set at the heart of community life in Widnes and the main
    building which dates back to 1855 has been so since that date when it was Gossage’s soap
    works. My own family were part of that community and its history. Local and regional support
    from organisations like the Freemasons is particularly welcome in Catalyst’s efforts to raise
    funds to undertake and maintain their educational and heritage work.”
    Freemasons from across the Province of West Lancashire, which includes parts of Lancashire,
    Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Cumbria, have contributed to the grant that
    comes through the West Lancashire Freemasons’ Charity. The charity is funded entirely from
    donations by Freemasons.
    Tony Harrison, leader of West Lancashire Freemasons, said: “This project will be of great
    benefit to the community, inspiring young people, many from disadvantaged backgrounds, to
    learn, enquire and think, creating hope and opportunity for the future. I’m very pleased that
    West Lancashire Freemasons are able to support the Catalyst Science Discovery Centre in
    their mission.”
