Provincial grandmaster for Worcestershire Freemasons Richard Goddard is pictured with County Air Ambulance flight paramedic Jim Hancox after the masons pledged their support for the charity with a cheque for £12,500. The Freemasons' Grand Charity is the group's central grant-making body and has been supporting community charities since 1727. Freemason Rodney Pitham said: "The speed at which the County Air Ambulance is able to respond to emergencies is invaluable. We are delighted to be supporting the organisation and the vital service it provides to the local community."
