Vacancies at RMBI Homes
The RMBI has 17 Homes across England
and Wales that have a variety of options
to help the Masonic community. These
include residential, nursing and respite
care, Elderly Mentally Frail (EMF) units
and some sheltered accommodation.
We want our older Brethren and their
dependants to be in first class care and the
RMBI needs to ensure its resources are
maximised by keeping vacancies to a
minimum. The vacancy levels at the
Homes change from week to week so
it is best to contact the RMBI in regards
to specific Homes.
There are four Homes in particular
that presently have immediate vacancies:

The Fundraising Cycle
Mike Humphrey is one of these guys who
seem to do things the rest of us read about.
He runs half-marathons, abseils off unusual
structures such as the Humber Bridge or
Grimsby Dock Tower or treks through the
Peruvian Andes at 15,000 to 16,000 feet.
And Mike does this all for charity.
So the RMBI are extremely grateful that
Mike has decided to raise money for us by
cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats
this summer in support of the London appeal.
Amongst the actual cycling he has to
endure, he has managed to organise a flyover
by the Red Arrows, some sponsorship
and lodgings at Centre Parcs as well as a
friend in a helicopter to take some scenic
photos. Mike is keen to make this one of
the biggest individual fundraisers ever for
the RMBI and we are sure you would love
to help him out.
All donations can be sent to: Raymond
Ressner, 14 Welholme Avenue, Grimsby
dn32 0ea.
Ray is kindly acting as Mike’s Treasurer
and we need to keep him busy. The RMBI
website will be tracking Mike’s progress on
the ride, so look out for that when he heads
off on 15 May at www.rmbi.org.uk.
